Functional and biological diversity of foliar spectra in tree canopies throughout the Andes to Amazon region

Summary Spectral properties of foliage express fundamental chemical interactions of canopies with solar radiation. However, the degree to which leaf spectra track chemical traits across environmental gradients in tropical forests is unknown. We analyzed leaf reflectance and transmittance...
