An R package for the simulation of leaf optical properties based on their biochemical and biophysical properties using the PROSPECT leaf model.
After installing package devtools, the package prospect can be installed with the following command line in R session:
devtools::install_github("jbferet/prospect")
A tutorial vignette is available here.
This research was supported by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR, France) through the young researchers project BioCop (ANR-17-CE32-0001)
