Correlation between three remote sensing-derived texture metrics describing the range in spectral diversity with diversity in four traits. On the remote sensing side, the NDVI (Normalized difference vegetation index) and a PCA (Principal component analysis) were used as input bands. The correlation coefficient is Pearson's r

Remote sensing	Texture metric	Trait	Corr. coefficient
NDVI	Entropy	Photosynthesis rate per leaf area	0.55
		Leaf area	0.55
PCA band 1	Contrast	Leaf nitrogen content per leaf dry mass	0.34
	Variance	Leaf dry-matter content	0.32
