From remote sensing of continents to computed tomography (CT) scanning of individual organisms or parts of organisms, novel views are emerging that span planetary to suborganismal scales. In plant biology, observations from satellites (e.g., Deneu et al., <span>2021</span>; Cavender-Bares et al., <span>2022</span>) and airborne instruments (e.g., Sun et al., <span>2021</span>) are providing new insight into the distribution of botanical diversity, species abundance, and ecosystem productivity and how these features are changing in response to human activity. At the same time, advances in X-ray technologies are revealing exquisite anatomical detail of both living and fossil plant structures (Brodersen and Roddy, <span>2016</span>). Innovations in imaging, largely enabled by the development of new sensors and analysis capabilities, are also capturing specific attributes of individual plants as well as their community context in the field.</p><p>In this special issue of <i>Applications in Plant Sciences</i> (<i>APPS</i>), we explore innovations in imaging and their contributions to plant biology. The 10 papers included in this collection span imaging of live plants in the field to chemical mapping of specific compounds. The authors emphasize sample preparation techniques, practical aspects of image capture, standardization of imaging techniques and resulting images, multiple forms of image analysis, and alternatives for image archival in public repositories. Moreover, the diversity of the imaging approaches and protocols presented in this collection can be applied to a broad range of research, teaching, and public outreach.</p><p>Two papers in this special issue note the lack of consistency in photographs of plants taken in the field. These photographs might serve as a virtual voucher of a rare species (when destructive sampling would be detrimental to the population) or as a source of plant traits for ecological or evolutionary research, but field photographs of plants are rarely standardized. Unlike other groups of organisms for which “standard views” have been developed, the vast diversity of plants in terms of both size and structure precludes many traditional approaches to standardization. These issues, as well as others, render currently available collections, such as those downloadable from iNaturalist (https://www.inaturalist.org/), less useful than they could be if images were captured, processed, and archived following specified standards. To standardize and improve the usefulness of field-captured images of plants, Weaver and Smith (<span>2023a</span>) report the development and implementation of FieldPrism, a system of photogrammetric markers, QR codes, and software to automate the curation of snapshot vouchers.

Methods We developed an R shiny pipeline to sample color from images that were automatically downloaded using query results from a search using iNaturalist or the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). The pipeline was used to sample ca. 4800 North American wallflower (Erysimum, Brassicaceae) images from iNaturalist. We tested whether flower color was distributed non‐randomly across the landscape and whether spatial patterns were correlated with climate. We also used images including ColorCheckers to compare analyses of raw images to color‐calibrated images. Results Flower color was strongly non‐randomly distributed spatially, but did not correlate strongly with climate, with most of the variation explained instead by spatial autocorrelation. However, finer‐scale patterns including local correlations between elevation and color were observed. Analyses using color‐calibrated and raw images revealed similar results.
