Traditional remote sensing techniques allow the assessment of green plant biomass, and
therefore plant photosynthetic capacity. However, detecting how much of this capacity is …

Globally, photosynthesis accounts for the largest flux of CO2 from the atmosphere into
ecosystems and is the driving process for terrestrial ecosystem function. The importance of …

Researchers from a number of disciplines have long sought the ability to estimate the
functional attributes of plant canopies, such as photosynthetic capacity, using remotely …

Attempts to estimate photosynthetic rate or gross primary productivity from remotely sensed
absorbed solar radiation depend on knowledge of the light use efficiency (LUE). Early …

This study examined the ability of the Photochemical Reflectance Index (PRI) to track
seasonal variations in carotenoid pigments and photosynthetic activity of mature evergreen …

The maximum carboxylation rate (Vcmax) and the maximum electron transport rate (Jmax)
are representative parameters describing the gas exchange properties of leaves. Non …

Traditional gas exchange measurements are cumbersome, which makes it difficult to
capture variation in biochemical parameters, namely the maximum rate of carboxylation …

Recent studies have shown that the photochemical reflectance index (PRI), derived from
narrow waveband reflectance at 531 and 570 nm, can be used as a remote measure of …

Accurate estimation of light use efficiency (LUE) of plant canopies is essential for calculating
gross primary productivity (GPP) using LUE models and is also useful for calibrating process …

Spatial prediction of photosynthesis requires an understanding of how foliage nitrogen (N)
and phosphorus (P) regulate this process and the relationship between these elements and …
