Cover Story: Monitoring biodiversity on a global scale is a major challenge for biodiversity conservation. In tropical forests, exhaustive and detailed field surveys are costly and challenging. In the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures, it is imperative that we find ways to efficiently assess patterns of biodiversity change. Recent developments in optical remote sensing have proven effective at estimating the biophysical parameters of vegetation, but a gap has yet to be bridged to manage remote-sensing-based biodiversity assessments. Quantifying spectral variation in terms of diversity indices is a novel possibility to link spectral information and field-based indices. This work presents the complementarity between those two sources of information to study patterns of biodiversity in secondary tropical forest. View this paper
