The data was collected as part of the Dimensions of Biodiversity project “Linking remotely sensed optical diversity to genetic, phylogenetic and functional diversity to predict ecosystem processes”. Samples were collected in or near the old fields chronosequence, the oak savanna, and the Forest and Biodiversity Experiment (FAB 1) plots. We used this data together with leaf-level spectral measurements to build partial least squares regression (PLSR) models for predicting leaf traits from spectra.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United Stateshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/leaf traitsnon-structural carbohydrateshemicellulosecelluloseligninneutral detergent fiberacid detergent fiberDimensions of Biodiversityprairieoak savannaold fields chronosequenceCedar CreekDatasethttps://doi.org/10.13020/d74j-wd55
