Spectroscopy at the leaf and canopy scales has attracted considerable interest in plant
ecology over the past decades. Using reflectance spectra, ecologists can infer plant traits …

Biodiversity is essential to healthy ecosystem function, influencing productivity and
resilience to disturbance. Biodiversity loss endangers essential ecosystem services and …

This paper reviews the current status and development of remote sensing methods for
monitoring rangeland condition. Remote sensing offers ideal solutions for assessing …

Biodiversity promotes ecosystem function as a consequence of functional differences among
organisms that enable resource partitioning and facilitation. As the need for biodiversity …

Monitoring the rapid and extensive changes in plant species distributions occurring
worldwide requires large-scale, continuous and repeated biodiversity assessments. Imaging …

Aim The spectral variability hypothesis (SVH) suggests a link between spectral variation and
plant biodiversity. The underlying assumptions are that higher spectral variation in canopy …

Spatial predictions of biomass production and biodiversity at regional scale in grasslands
are critical to evaluate the effects of management practices across environmental gradients …

Leaf reflectance spectra have been increasingly used to assess plant diversity. However, we
do not yet understand how spectra vary across the tree of life or how the evolution of leaf …

Increasing evidence suggests that remotely sensed spectral diversity is linked to plant
species richness. However, a conflicting spectral diversity–biodiversity relationship in …

Plant spectral diversity–how plants differentially interact with solar radiation–is an integrator
of plant chemical, structural, and taxonomic diversity that can be remotely sensed. We …
