Spectral Heterogeneity Predicts Local-Scale Gamma and Beta Diversity of Mesic Grasslands
Plant species diversity is an important metric of ecosystem functioning, but field assessments of diversity are constrained in number and spatial extent by labor and other expenses. We tested the utility of using spatial heterogeneity in the remotely-sensed reflectance spectrum of grassland canopies...
