Traditional remote sensing techniques allow the assessment of green plant biomass, and
therefore plant photosynthetic capacity. However, detecting how much of this capacity is …

The dynamics of pigment concentrations are diagnostic of a range of plant physiological
properties and processes. This paper appraises the develo** technologies and analytical …

The morphological and biochemical properties of plant canopies are strong predictors of
photosynthetic capacity and nutrient cycling. Remote sensing research at the leaf and …

Understanding relationships between canopy structure and the seasonal dynamics of
photosynthetic uptake of CO 2 by forest canopies requires improved knowledge of canopy …

Coniferous species are present in almost all major vegetation biomes on Earth, though they
are the most abundant in the northern hemisphere, where they form the northern tree and …

Repeated observations of plant phenology have been shown to be important indicators of
global change. However, capturing the exact date of key events requires daily observations …

Land use and climate change have complex and interacting effects on naturally dynamic
forest landscapes. To anticipate and adapt to these changes, it is necessary to understand …

Leaf traits and physiological performance govern the amount of light reflected from leaves at
visible and infrared wavebands. Information on leaf optical properties of tropical trees is …

No single hypothesis or theory has been widely accepted for explaining the functional
mechanism of global alpine/arctic treeline formation. The present study tested whether the …

We studied relationships between spectral reflectance and photosynthesis of mountain
paper birch, Betula papyrifera var. cordifolia (Regel) Fern., leaves from three different …
