Landscape-scale changes in forest structure and functional traits along an Andes-to-Amazon elevation gradient

Landscape-scale changes in forest structure and functional traits along an Andes-to-Amazon elevation gradient

Elevation gradients provide opportunities to explore environmental controls on forest structure and functioning. We used airborne imaging spectroscopy and lidar (light detection and ranging) to quantify changes in three-dimensional forest structure and canopy functional traits in twenty 25 ha landsc...
