Spectral diversity beyond the Spectral Variation Hypothesis: what comes next?
Author: Michela Perrone Nearly three decades ago, the Spectral Variation Hypothesis (SVH) proposed a tremendously simple idea: the spectral diversity of vegetated landscapes (essentially, the spatial variation in reflectance detected by remote sensing) could serve as a proxy for plant species richness. The promise of biodiversity mapping from space quickly gained traction, especially with multispectral…
