Carbon isotope discrimination analysis
Measurement of water-use efficiency differences between plant sexes using leaf carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) to understand mechanistic basis of sex-specific climate responses.
Partial Least Squares Regression
Uses hyperspectral imaging (400-1000 nm) combined with Partial Least Squares Regression to correlate spectral signatures with measured leaf traits like LMA and LWC. Enables non-destructive remote meas...
partial least squares regression (PLSR) (Salicaceae)
PLSR modeling approach using leaf spectral reflectance measurements to extrapolate functional trait values from subset of direct measurements to larger sample sizes. Ten-fold cross-validation used for...
TRY plant trait database (Plantae)
Systematic compilation and cleaning of plant trait records from multiple databases to create a comprehensive tundra plant trait dataset. Combined TRY database records with Tundra Trait Team contributi...
Flow cytometry (Plantae)
Laboratory technique to determine ploidy level, validated against Hordeum vulgare standards.
Hyperspectral data validation
Collection of site spectra to validate airborne hyperspectral data acquired by NEON Aerial Observation Platform.
