Advantages of Retrieving Pigment Content [$μ$g/Cm2] versus Concentration [%] from Canopy Reflectance

Photosynthesis is essential for life on earth as it, inter alia, influences the composition of the atmosphere and is the driving mechanism of primary production. Photosynthesis is particularly controlled by leaf pigments such as chlorophyll, …

Differentiating Plant Functional Types Using Reflectance: Which Traits Make the Difference?

Abiotic ecosystem properties together with plant species interaction create differences in structural and physiological traits among plant species. Certain plant traits cause a spatial and temporal variation in canopy reflectance that enables the …
