Estimation of leaf traits from reflectance measurements: comparison between methods based on vegetation indices and several versions of the PROSPECT model

Abstract Background Leaf biochemical composition corresponds to traits related to the plant state and its functioning. This study puts the emphasis on the main leaf absorbers: chlorophyll a and b ($$C_{ab}$$ Cab ), carotenoids ($$C_{c}$$ Cc ), water ($$C_{w}$$ Cw ) and dry mater ($$C_{m}$$ Cm ) cont...
