Wood-boring pests (WBPs) pose an enormous threat to global forest ecosystems because
their early stage infestations show no visible symptoms and can result in rapid and …

As the range of studies on macroecology and functional traits expands, integration of traits
into higher-level approaches offers new opportunities to improve clarification of larger-scale …

Leaf chlorophyll, as a key factor for carbon circulation in the ecosystem, is significant for the
photosynthetic productivity estimation and crop growth monitoring in agricultural …

Chlorophyll (Chl) is an important photosynthetic pigment to the plant, largely determining
photosynthetic capacity and hence plant growth. However, this concept has not been …

Improving the accuracy of estimates of forest carbon exchange is a central priority for
understanding ecosystem response to increased atmospheric CO 2 levels and improving …

Foliar functional traits are widely used to characterize leaf and canopy properties that drive
ecosystem processes and to infer physiological processes in Earth system models. Imaging …

Leaf chlorophyll is central to the exchange of carbon, water and energy between the
biosphere and the atmosphere, and to the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. This paper …

Satellite sensing in the visible to near-infrared (VNIR) domain has been the backbone of
land surface monitoring and characterization for more than four decades. However, a …

Leaf traits are essential for understanding many physiological and ecological processes.
Partial least squares regression (PLSR) models with leaf spectroscopy are widely applied …

The terrestrial biosphere plays a critical role in mitigating climate change by absorbing
anthropogenic CO2 emissions through photosynthesis. The rate of photosynthesis is …
