biostudies-literatureUnknown10(1)Wen JField-measured spectra are critical for remote sensing physical modelling, retrieval of structural, biophysical, and biochemical parameters, and other practical applications. We present a library of field spectra, which includes (1) portable field spectroradiometer measurements of vegetation, soil, and snow in the full-wave band, (2) multi-angle spectra measurements of desert vegetation, chernozems, and snow with consideration of the anisotropic reflectance of land surface, (3) multi-scale spectra measurements of leaf and canopy of different vegetation cover surfaces, and (4) continuous reflectance spectra time-series data revealing vegetation growth dynamics of maize, rice, wheat, rape, grassland, and so on. To the best of our knowledge, this library is unique in simultaneously providing Scientific data353https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10239449biostudies-literatureFull-band, multi-angle, multi-scale, and temporal dynamic field spectral measurements in China.PMC10239449Yang JZheng XMa MJin RLiu QLin XHan YXiao QWen JGong BYou DYu WQu YTang YWu XfalseFull-band, multi-angle, multi-scale, and temporal dynamic field spectral measurements in China.Field-measured spectra are critical for remote sensing physical modelling, retrieval of structural, biophysical, and biochemical parameters, and other practical applications.
