Light use efficiency (LUE) models have been widely used to estimate terrestrial gross
primary production (GPP) at local, regional, and global scales, which is vital for …

Chlorophyll a fluorescence (ChlF) has been used for decades to study the organization,
functioning, and physiology of photosynthesis at the leaf and subcellular levels. ChlF is now …

Hyperspectral data (Table 1) is acquired as continuous narrowbands (eg, each band with 1
to 10 nanometer or nm bandwidths) over a range of electromagnetic spectrum (eg, 400 …

Remote sensing of terrestrial vegetation fluorescence from space is of interest because it
can potentially provide global coverage of the functional status of vegetation. For example …

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

Life on Earth depends on photosynthesis. Photosynthetic systems evolved early in Earth
history and have been stable for 2.5 billion years, providing prima facie evidence for the …

Anthropogenic stress and disturbance of forest ecosystems (FES) has been increasing at all
scales from local to global. In rapidly changing environments, in-situ terrestrial FES …

Understanding relationships between canopy structure and the seasonal dynamics of
photosynthetic uptake of CO 2 by forest canopies requires improved knowledge of canopy …

Peatlands store large amounts of terrestrial carbon and any changes to their carbon balance
could cause large changes in the greenhouse gas (GHG) balance of the Earth's …

Precision agriculture (PA) is an innovative, integrated and internationally standardized
approach aiming to increase the efficiency of resource use and to reduce the uncertainty of …
