Abstract
Chlorophyll fluorescence is directly related to photosynthesis. However, at canopy level this physiological link may be blurred by structural vegetation changes and the interactions between sunlight and the 3D canopy structure. Furthermore, our knowledge about the relationship between chlorophyll fluorescence and the physiological status of plants comels from leaf level studies carried out under laboratory conditions. The physiological significance of chlorophyll fluorescence at canopy level and in outdoors conditions is still a major subject of research and a source of uncertainties in the interpretation of remote sensing data.
We built a new instrument for active measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence yield at the canopy level and studied its variations during the diurnal cycle. We showed that it was an indicator of water stress on different plant canopies. On the other hand, a comparison between active and passive measurements of fluorescence allowed us to define a new approach to derive a proxy of the fluorescence yield from solar-induced fluorescence. Finally, we investigated the airborne detection of water stress by passive measurement of fluorescence.
