Abstract In recent years, the availability of airborne imaging spectroscopy (hyperspectral) data has expanded dramatically. The high spatial and spectral resolution these uniquely enable spatially explicit ecological studies including species mapping, assessment drought mortality foliar trait distributions. However, we have barely begun to unlock potential use direct mapping vegetation characteristics infer subsurface properties critical zone. To assess their utility for Earth systems...
Current knowledge of the mechanisms driving soil organic matter (SOM) turnover and responses to warming is mainly limited surface soils, although over 50% global carbon contained in subsoils. Deep soils have different physicochemical properties, nutrient inputs, microbiomes, which may harbor distinct functional traits lead SOM dynamics temperature responses. We hypothesized that kinetic thermal properties exoenzymes, mediate depolymerization, vary with depth, reflecting microbial adaptation...
