Are Remotely Sensed Traits Suitable for Ecological Analysis? A Case Study of Long-Term Drought Effects on Leaf Mass per Area of Wetland Vegetation

Plant and community traits provide valuable insights in ecosystem functioning. Yet, such traits are costly to sample. Existing trait data bases give access to species-specific traits and help to reduce the sampling effort and costs. However, many …
