Healthy vegetation function supports diverse biological communities and ecosystem
processes, and provides crops, forest products, forage, and countless other benefits …

Twenty years ago, the Spectral Variation Hypothesis (SVH) was formulated as a means to
link between different aspects of biodiversity and spatial patterns of spectral data (eg …

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

The monitoring of forest phenology in a cost-effective manner, at a fine spatial scale and
over relatively large areas remains a significant challenge. To address this issue, unmanned …

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 …

Hyperspectral data, with their detailed spectral information at different wavelengths, offer
multiple ways to assess biodiversity. One approach, known as the “spectral variation …

Leaf reflectance itself integrates within-and between-species differences in morphology,
foliar chemistry, life history strategies, and responses to environmental variation. As a …

This study assessed the application of airborne imaging spectroscopy to monitor α-diversity
in restored grassland plots. The study site was located within the Central Platte River …

Species richness generally promotes ecosystem productivity, although the shape of the
relationship varies and remains the subject of debate. One reason for this uncertainty lies in …

Satellite-based normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) time series data are useful for
monitoring the changes in vegetation ecosystems in the context of global climate change …
