The use of functional traits to inform ecosystem service policy and management requires the scaling‐up of plot‐scale data from local to regional scales. In this review, we outline (1; purple dashed arrow) the sampling considerations for capturing the necessary variation in functional trait composition across space so that these proxies can be used for (2; brown dashed arrow) the fine‐resolution scaling‐up of trait composition from local to regional scales via remote sensing methods.
