BlueGreen Labs is happy to see a new manuscript published. This work is the tireless effort of Dr. Zoe Pierrat in getting the whole proximal remote sensing community together (during a meeting in Boulder, CO, summer 2023).
This paper summarizes methods, data sources and proximal remote applications. It gives guidance on best practices and valuable directions for future research. Critically, it highlights the importance of proximal remote sensing in bridging the gap between high resolution continuous monitoring of ecosystems on leaf to stand level and global ecology measures and methods, such as satellite remote sensing and ecosystem modelling.
