Imagining spectrometers provide remote observations that can capture many aspects of plant functional diversity, quantifying traits that relate to growth, longevity, resistance to disease, food quality for herbivores, nutrient cycling and ecosystem function. There properties can be quantified from the way light interacts with foliage, but leaves differ in many attributes that affect their optical properties. For many years, imagining spectroscopy was available from airborne platforms and in situ but now, with the launching of multiple spaceborne sensors, interest is growing in being able to use space-based data for large-scale and global analyses. Over the past decade, field campaigns have been conducted across the globe, capturing high quality airborne data and systematic, semi-standardized data on vegetation. We show how these field projects map into climate space, covering many of the world's climatically defined biomes and into taxonomic space, quantifying how much of the evolutionary variation in plant strategies is covered by existing data. These data are being integrated into a data base for community use, and for the development of general and regionally-tuned retrievals of plant functional traits and their diversity within biomes from missions such as EMIT (NASA, USA), EnMAP (DLR, Germany) and PRISMA (ASI, Italy).
