Proximal remote sensing can bridge the gap between individual plants and landscape wide measurements, providing continuous data at a high-spatiotemporal resolution, enabling us to address key ecological questions unanswerable from space-based observations alone.
A new paper summarizes methods, data sources and proximal remote applications. It gives guidance on best practices and valuable directions for future research.
Plants store little water compared to other pools, and the time it takes to return that water to the atmosphere is among the fastest components of the hydrologic cycle.
