Collection covers all the seasons. Summer is expected to have less variations on the plant's phonology. However, when the model was trained by a season data and then tested to the other seasons, the summer model showed the least RMSE. It means summer was the best season to collect leaves with divers status. It's harsh light must affect various level of stress to sunltis and shaded leaves.
