A tutorial R package for illustrating how to fit, evaluate, and report spectra-trait PLSR models. The package provides functions to enhance the base functionality of the R pls package, identify an optimal number of PLSR components, standardize model validation, and vignette examples that utilize datasets sourced from EcoSIS (ecosis.org)

A project focused on the development of generalized spectra-trait models for the prediction of leaf photosynthetic capacity. This includes models focused on the prediction of Vcmax, Jmax and dark respiration as well as leaf nitrogen, leaf mass per area (LMA), leaf water content (LWC).
