Abstract excerpt
Understanding how plant populations respond to environmental variation through functional leaf traits remains challenging due to limitations of traditional phenotyping approaches. Hyperspectral reflectance offers a powerful high-throughput solution, simultaneously capturing leaf biochemistry, water content, and structural properties across hundreds of wavelengths. We present a framework combining hyperspectral...
