Impacts of leaf age on the spectral and physiochemical traits of trees in Amazonian forest canopies
- Abstract:
-
This doctoral research presents the first comprehensive analysis of the morphological, biochemical and spectral leaf traits of canopy and emergent tropical trees during natural (in situ) leaf ageing. It adopts an interdisciplinary approach and combines multiple scales of analysis to generate insights into the effects of natural leaf ageing on our current understanding of tropical leaf trait variation, chemometric models used to spectrally predict leaf traits, and together with oth...
