Data comprise measurements of spectral reflectance for quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) trees at a range of sites in southwestern Colorado near the town of Crested Butte. Spectra were measured in three different ways: hyperspectral measurements of leaves, hyperspectral measurements of bark, and multispectral measurements of canopies. The first two measurements were made using a handheld spectrometer, while the latter were made via airborne imaging from an unmanned aerial system.
In addition to these reflectance data, the dataset also includes information on the genotype and/or ploidy level of each sample, as determined by either DNA microsatellite analysis or flow cytometry. All samples are georeferenced.
The data include extracted data and raw imagery.

Provenance & quality
The hyperspectral data were filtered and averaged across multiple replicates to reduce sampling error. All spectra were hand-inspected, with samples that did not meet certain criteria (e.g. a near-infrared rise, or a green local maximum) were discarded.
Multispectral data were calibrated against ground gray references and orthorectified using commercially available algorithms.
Flow cytometry ploidy level data were validated against Hordeum vulgare standards; DNA microsatellite ploidy level data were validated using published algorithms described in more detail in the supplemental information.
