Spectral wavelength range influences the performance of chemometric models estimating various foliar functional traits by Minjee Park, Lorenzo Cotrozzi, Geoffrey M. Williams, Matthew D. Ginzel, Michael V. Mickelbart, Douglass F. Jacobs, John J. Couture

“…This approach has considerable implications in advancing plant physiological and chemical ecology. For complex functional traits, however, there is a lack of well‐defined absorption features and features may be unevenly distributed across the reflectance spectrum, suggesting that the influence of wavelength ranges on the performance of chemometric models is potentially important for accurately estimating foliar functional traits. …”
