Lineage functional types (LFTs) classified as the intersection of community indicator species, spectral clustering, and phylogeny (Methods). Different colors indicate 60 different LFTs that were produced by our method, creating fewer, spectrally similar clusters from the original 1572 species. In Fig. 4, we classify the six dominant woody canopy LFTs that most influence the spectral signals for the FIA survey data.
