Individual tree-based vs pixel-based approaches to mapping forest functional traits and diversity by remote sensing

Plant ecology and biodiversity research have increasingly incorporated trait-based approaches and remote sensing. Compared with traditional field survey (which typically samples individual trees), remote sensing enables quantifying functional traits over large contiguous areas, but assigning trait v...
