Capturing plant functional traits in coastal dunes using close-range remote sensing by Giacomo Trotta, Marco Vuerich, Elisa Petrussa, Edoardo Asquini, Paolo Cingano, Francesco Boscutti

“…We observed traits to be stronger than plant growth in explaining the variance of multispectral indices, with leaf flavonoids showing the highest contribution to plant spectral signature.We demonstrated the effectiveness of close-range multispectral imaging in linking plant traits to ecological processes, with significant implications for upscaling plant responses to environmental variable across larger spatial scales. Furthermore, the research outlines practical guidelines for collecting and processing close-range multispectral data, offering a valuable new tool for and accurate field monitoring of ecosystem processes and plant functions.…”
