Plant trait data have been used in various studies related to ecosystem functioning, community ecology, and assessment of ecosystem services. Evidences are that plant …
Hyperspectral data (Table 1) is acquired as continuous narrowbands (eg, each band with 1 to 10 nanometer or nm bandwidths) over a range of electromagnetic spectrum (eg, 400 …

Conceptually, plant functional types represent a classification scheme between species and broad vegetation types. Historically, these were based on physiological, structural and/or …
A major goal of remote sensing is the development of generalizable algorithms to repeatedly and accurately map ecosystem properties across space and time. Imaging spectroscopy has …
The gravimetric water content (GWC,%), a commonly used measure of leaf water content, describes the ratio of water to dry matter for each individual leaf. To date, the relationship …
The global demand for fossil energy is triggering oil exploration and production projects in remote areas of the world. During the last few decades hydrocarbon production has caused …
Remote sensing has been used to detect plant biodiversity in a range of ecosystems based on the varying spectral properties of different species or functional groups. However, the …
Canopy chemistry and spectroscopy offer insight into community assembly and ecosystem processes in high‐diversity tropical forests, but phylogenetic and environmental factors …
Leaf mass per area (LMA) is a trait of central importance to plant physiology and ecosystem function, but LMA patterns in the upper canopies of humid tropical forests have proved …
