Short summary
Remote sensing measurements of forest structure promise to improve monitoring of tropical forest health. We investigated drone-based vegetation measurements' abilities to capture different structural and functional elements of a tropical forest. We found that emerging vegetation indices captured greater variability than traditional indices and one new index trends with daily change in carbon flux. These new tools can help improve understanding of tropical forest structure and function.
