Plant Functional Type Classification

Plant Functional Type Classification is a remote sensing methodology that categorizes vegetation into taxonomically or ecologically distinct groups based on shared physiological, structural, and functional traits, enabling the differentiation of plant types according to their biophysical characteristics and ecosystem roles.
