Mapping tropical forest functional variation at satellite remote sensing resolutions depends on key traits

Functional variations in tropical forests can be determined from remotely sensed forest trait and structural attributes at spatial resolutions relevant to satellite-based observations, according to a coarse resolution analysis of airborne remotely sensed data in Malaysian Borneo.
