 Examples of generalized spectra trait models for the prediction of Vcmax25, Jmax25, and Rdark25 using the GSTI database are presented here: [Spectra trait models](https://github.com/plantphys/gsti/blob/main/Outputs/Results_PLSR.jpeg). These models were obtained using partial least squares regressions following Burnett et al.'s 2021 best practices.
