Rows are indexed by either year or site (see above for site codes). For each trait (Nitrogen, del15N, Marea, Cellulose, Carbon, ADL and ADF) columns indicate: RMSE cal.: Root mean squared error, calibration; RMSE val.: Root mean squared error, validation; % in Pred. Int.: Percent observations within prediction intervals; % of range: validation RMSE as percent of range of observations; N cal.: Number of calibration samples; N val.: Number of validation samples. All files in supplement 2 (e.g., ”PLS_coefficients_Mode_A_del15N.csv”) are coefficients obtained from 500 randomized replicates of PLSR models described in the manuscript. The “Mode” (i.e., “<b>Mode A”</b> in example above) indicates models built using canopy traits aggregated using canopy weighting schemes described in Table A3, Appendix A. All files are suffixed with the respective response variables (del15N: δ<sup>15</sup>N [‰], M_area: Marea [g/m²], pct_ADF: ADF [%], pct_ADL: ADL [%], pct_C [%], pct_Cellulose: Cellulose [%], pct_N: Nitrogen [%]). Rows correspond to model replicates (indexed by column “Model”), columns correspond with PLSR model coefficients at nominal wavelengths (i.e., column WVL_453 = PLSR model coefficient for wavelength 453nm.) Columns filled with zeros indicate noise-contaminated (&lt; 414 nm and &gt; 2408 nm) or water absorption bands. Column “Intercept” is the PLSR model constant term.
