Imaging Spectroscopy Derived Maps of 17 Plant Functional Traits for the CHEESEHEAD Study Area
Summary
Maps of 17 plant functional traits (leaf mass per area (LMA), nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC), and foliar concentration of boron, carbon, cellulose, fiber, iron, lignin, magnesium, nitrogen, phenolics, phosphorus, potassium, starch, sugars, sulfur, and zinc) across a 10km × 10km forested region in Northern Wisconsin, USA. The maps were derived from HySpex imagery collected during the Chequamegon Heterogeneous Ecosystem Energy balance Study Enabled by a High-density Extensive Array of Detectors 2019 (CHEESEHEAD19).
Archive note
Traits were mapped on 29 June, 11 and 13 July, and 4, 6, and 30 August 2019. The data are in daily zip files containing ENVI image format files. The data are in files of 10-26GB and you may be able to order only one or two days per order.
