An Approach for Foliar Trait Retrieval from Airborne Imaging Spectroscopy of Tropical Forests
Hyperspectral enables to retrieve diverse foliar traits. That is especially meaningful because only considering diverse traits allow to track functions. As structure could not only boost light interception but also burden to maintain the structure itself, physiological traits and structural traits show perpendicular relationship. So form follows function!
