Beyond greenness: Detecting temporal changes in photosynthetic capacity with hyperspectral reflectance data.

Earth's future carbon balance and regional carbon exchange dynamics are inextricably linked to plant photosynthesis. Spectral vegetation indices are widely used as proxies for vegetation greenness and to estimate state variables such as vegetation cover and leaf area index. However, the capacit...
