Solar-induced fluorescence: from the leaf to beyond the canopy
Reliable and scalable values of gross primary productivity remain a goal and a challenge for plant biologists, ecosystem ecologists, remote sensing scientists, and biosphere modelers. Solar-induced fluorescence (SIF), a detectable byproduct of photosynthesis that can be measured at the leaf, canopy, and landscape scales, continues to gain traction as a leading tool for real-time quantification of terrestrial carbon cycling.
In this issue, we invite research that integrates SIF as a variable to approach questions about ecosystem changes and responses to the environment, including phenology, stress, warming, and community structure.
