Seasonal spectral separation of western snowberry and wolfwillow in grasslands with field spectroradiometer and simulated multispectral bands

This data support the paper "Seasonal spectral separation of western snowberry and wolfwillow in grasslands with field spectroradiometer and simulated multispectral bands" by Irini Soubry and Xulin Guo 2021 in the journal of "Environments" by MDPI. It includes spectral signatures that were collected for the shrubs western snowberry (<i>Symphoricarpos occidentalis</i>) and wolfwillow (<i>Elaeagnus commutata</i>) for the growing season of 2020 in spring, summer and fall. Each column represents a wavelength (W_#), and each row a measurement. More information about the data collection location and procedure can be found in the respective manuscript. For all collected spectra, we removed the water absorption regions between 1350-1430 nm, 1750-1980 nm, and 2330-2500 nm, which caused noise in the data.
