An Emulator Toolbox to Approximate Radiative Transfer Models with Statistical Learning
Physically-based radiative transfer models (RTMs) help in understanding the processes occurring on the Earthβs surface and their interactions with vegetation and atmosphere. When it comes to studying vegetation properties, RTMs allows us to study light interception by plant canopies and are used in the retrieval of biophysical variables through model inversion. However, advanced RTMs can take a long computational time, which makes them unfeasible in many real applications. To overcome this problem, it has been proposed to substitute RTMs through so-called emulators. Emulators are statistical models that approximate the functioning of RTMs. Emulators are advantageous in real practice because of the computational efficiency and excellent accuracy and flexibility for extrapolation. We hereby present an βEmulator toolboxβ that enables analysing multi-output machine learning regression algorithms (MO-MLRAs) on their ability to approximate an RTM. The toolbox is included in the free-access ARTMOβs MATLAB suite for parameter retrieval and model inversion and currently contains both linear and non-linear MO-MLRAs, namely partial least squares regression (PLSR), kernel ridge regression (KRR) and neural networks (NN). These MO-MLRAs have been evaluated on their precision and speed to approximate the soil vegetation atmosphere transfer model SCOPE (Soil Canopy Observation, Photochemistry and Energy balance). SCOPE generates, amongst others, sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence as the output signal. KRR and NN were evaluated as capable of reconstructing fluorescence spectra with great precision. Relative errors fell below 0.5% when trained with 500 or more samples using cross-validation and principal component analysis to alleviate the underdetermination problem. Moreover, NN reconstructed fluorescence spectra about 50-times faster and KRR about 800-times faster than SCOPE. The Emulator toolbox is foreseen to open new opportunities in the use of advanced RTMs, in which both consistent physical assumptions and data-driven machine learning algorithms live together
Decomposing reflectance spectra to track gross primary production in a subalpine evergreen forest
Photosynthesis by terrestrial plants represents the majority of COβ uptake on Earth, yet it is difficult to measure directly from space. Estimation of gross primary production (GPP) from remote sensing indices represents a primary source of uncertainty, in particular for observing seasonal variations in evergreen forests. Recent vegetation remote sensing techniques have highlighted spectral regions sensitive to dynamic changes in leaf/needle carotenoid composition, showing promise for tracking seasonal changes in photosynthesis of evergreen forests. However, these have mostly been investigated with intermittent field campaigns or with narrow-band spectrometers in these ecosystems. To investigate this potential, we continuously measured vegetation reflectance (400β900βnm) using a canopy spectrometer system, PhotoSpec, mounted on top of an eddy-covariance flux tower in a subalpine evergreen forest at Niwot Ridge, Colorado, USA. We analyzed driving spectral components in the measured canopy reflectance using both statistical and process-based approaches. The decomposed spectral components co-varied with carotenoid content and GPP, supporting the interpretation of the photochemical reflectance index (PRI) and the chlorophyll/carotenoid index (CCI). Although the entire 400β900βnm range showed additional spectral changes near the red edge, it did not provide significant improvements in GPP predictions. We found little seasonal variation in both normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and the near-infrared vegetation index (NIRv) in this ecosystem. In addition, we quantitatively determined needle-scale chlorophyll-to-carotenoid ratios as well as anthocyanin contents using full-spectrum inversions, both of which were tightly correlated with seasonal GPP changes. Reconstructing GPP from vegetation reflectance using partial least-squares regression (PLSR) explained approximately 87β% of the variability in observed GPP. Our results linked the seasonal variation in reflectance to the pool size of photoprotective pigments, highlighting all spectral locations within 400β900βnm associated with GPP seasonality in evergreen forests

Όλ¬Έ(λ°μ¬) -- μμΈλνκ΅λνμ : νκ²½λνμ νλκ³Όμ μ‘°κ²½ν, 2022.2. λ₯μλ ¬.Monitoring phenology, physiological and structural changes in vegetation is essential to understand feedbacks of vegetation between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere by influencing the albedo, carbon flux, water flux and energy. To this end, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) from satellite remote sensing have been widely used. However, there are still limitations in satellite remote sensing as 1) satellite imagery could not capture fine-scale spatial resolution of SIF signals, 2) satellite products are strongly influenced by condition of the atmosphere (e.g. clouds), thus it is challenging to know physiological and structural changes in vegetation on cloudy days and 3) satellite imagery captured a mixed signal from over- and understory, thus it is difficult to study the difference between overstory and understory phenology separately. Therefore, in order to more accurately understand the signals observed from the satellite, further studies using near-surface remote sensing system to collect ground-based observed data are needed.
The main purpose of this dissertation is continuous observation of vegetation phenology and SIF using near-surface remote sensing system. To achieve the main goal, I set three chapters as 1) developing low-cost filter-based near-surface remote sensing system to monitor SIF continuously, 2) monitoring SIF in a temperate evergreen needleleaf forest continuously, and 3) understanding the relationships between phenology from in-situ multi-layer canopies and satellite products.
In Chapter 2, I developed the filter-based smart surface sensing system (4S-SIF) to overcome the technical challenges of monitoring SIF in the field as well as to decrease sensor cost for more comprehensive spatial sampling. I verified the satisfactory spectral performance of the bandpass filters and confirmed that digital numbers (DN) from 4S-SIF exhibited linear relationships with the DN from the hyperspectral spectroradiometer in each band (R2 > 0.99). In addition, we confirmed that 4S-SIF shows relatively low variation of dark current value at various temperatures. Furthermore, the SIF signal from 4S-SIF represents a strong linear relationship with QEpro-SIF either changing the physiological mechanisms of the plant using DCMU (3-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethyurea) treatment. I believe that 4S-SIF will be a useful tool for collecting in-situ data across multiple spatial and temporal scales.
Satellite-based SIF provides us with new opportunities to understand the physiological and structural dynamics of vegetation from canopy to global scales. However, the relationships between SIF and gross primary productivity (GPP) are not fully understood, which is mainly due to the challenges of decoupling structural and physiological factors that control the relationships. In Chapter 3, I reported the results of continuous observations of canopy-level SIF, GPP, absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (APAR), and chlorophyll: carotenoid index (CCI) in a temperate evergreen needleleaf forest. To understand the mechanisms underlying the relationship between GPP and SIF, I investigated the relationships of light use efficiency (LUE_p), chlorophyll fluorescence yield (Ξ¦_F), and the fraction of emitted SIF photons escaping from the canopy (f_esc) separately. I found a strongly non-linear relationship between GPP and SIF at diurnal and seasonal time scales (R2 = 0.91 with a hyperbolic regression function, daily). GPP saturated with APAR, while SIF did not. In addition, there were differential responses of LUE_p and Ξ¦_F to air temperature. While LUE_p reached saturation at high air temperatures, Ξ¦_F did not saturate. I also found that the canopy-level chlorophyll: carotenoid index was strongly correlated to canopy-level Ξ¦_F (R2 = 0.84) implying that Ξ¦_F could be more closely related to pigment pool changes rather than LUE_p. In addition, I found that the f_esc contributed to a stronger SIF-GPP relationship by partially capturing the response of LUE_p to diffuse light. These findings can help refine physiological and structural links between canopy-level SIF and GPP in evergreen needleleaf forests.
We do not fully understand what satellite NDVI derived leaf-out and full leaf dates actually observe because deciduous broadleaf forest consists of multi-layer canopies typically and mixed-signal from multi-layer canopies could affect satellite observation. Ultimately, we have the following question: What phenology do we actually see from space compared to ground observations on multi-layer canopy phenology? In Chapter 4, I reported the results of 8 years of continuous observations of multi-layer phenology and climate variables in a deciduous broadleaf forest, South Korea. Multi-channel spectrometers installed above and below overstory canopy allowed us to monitor over- and understory canopy phenology separately, continuously. I evaluated the widely used phenology detection methods, curvature change rate and threshold with NDVI observed above top of the canopy and compared leaf-out and full leaf dates from both methods to in-situ observed multi-layer phenology. First, I found that NDVI from the above canopy had a strong linear relationship with satellites NDVI (R2=0.95 for MODIS products and R2= 0.85 for Landsat8). Second, leaf-out dates extracted by the curvature change rate method and 10% threshold were well matched with understory leaf-out dates. Third, the full-leaf dates extracted by the curvature change rate method and 90% threshold were similar to overstory full-leaf dates. Furthermore, I found that overstory leaf-out dates were closely correlated to accumulated growing degree days (AGDD) while understory leaf-out dates were related to AGDD and also sensitive to the number of chill days (NCD). These results suggest that satellite-based leaf-out and full leaf dates represent understory and overstory signals in the deciduous forest site, which requires caution when using satellite-based phenology data into future prediction as overstory and understory canopy show different sensitivities to AGDD and NCD.μλ¬Ό κ³μ λ° μμμ μ리νμ , ꡬ쑰μ μΈ λ³νλ₯Ό μ§μμ μΌλ‘ λͺ¨λν°λ§ νλ κ²μ μ‘μμνκ³μ λκΈ°κΆ μ¬μ΄μ μλμ§, νμ μν λ±μ νΌλλ°±μ μ΄ν΄νλλ° νμμ μ΄λ€. μ΄λ₯Ό κ΄μΈ‘νκΈ° μνμ¬ μμ±μμ κ΄μΈ‘λ μ κ·ν μμ μ§μ (NDVI) νμ μ λ μ½λ‘μ νκ΄λ¬Όμ§ (SIF)λ λμ€μ μΌλ‘ μ¬μ©λκ³ μλ€. κ·Έλ¬λ, μ°μ£Ό μμ± κΈ°λ°μ μλ£λ λ€μκ³Ό κ°μ νκ³μ λ€μ΄ μ‘΄μ¬νλ€. 1) μμ§κΉμ§ κ³ ν΄μλμ μμ± κΈ°λ° SIF μλ£λ μκ³ , 2) μμ± μλ£λ€μ λκΈ°μ μ§ (μ, ꡬλ¦)μ μν₯μ λ°μ, νλ¦° λ μ μμμ μ리νμ , ꡬ쑰μ λ³νλ₯Ό νμ§νκΈ° νλ€λ€. λν, 3) μμ± μ΄λ―Έμ§λ μλΆ μμκ³Ό νλΆ μμμ΄ νΌν©λμ΄ μμΈ μ νΈλ₯Ό νμ§νκΈ° λλ¬Έμ, κ° μΈ΅μ μλ¬Ό κ³μ μ κ°κ° μ°κ΅¬νκΈ°μ μ΄λ €μμ΄ μλ€. κ·Έλ¬λ―λ‘, μμ±μμ νμ§ν μ νΈλ₯Ό νκ°νκ³ , μμμ μ리νμ , ꡬ쑰μ λ³νλ₯Ό λ³΄λ€ μ νν μ΄ν΄νκΈ° μν΄μλ κ·Όμ νλ©΄ μ격 μΌμ± μμ€ν

Performance of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence in estimating water-use efficiency in a temperate forest
Β© The Author(s), 2018. This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License. The definitive version was published in Remote Sensing 10 (2018): 796, doi:10.3390/rs10050796.Water-use efficiency (WUE) is a critical variable describing the interrelationship between carbon uptake and water loss in land ecosystems. Different WUE formulations (WUEs) including intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi), inherent water use efficiency (IWUE), and underlying water use efficiency (uWUE) have been proposed. Based on continuous measurements of carbon and water fluxes and solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) at a temperate forest, we analyze the correlations between SIF emission and the different WUEs at the canopy level by using linear regression (LR) and Gaussian processes regression (GPR) models. Overall, we find that SIF emission has a good potential to estimate IWUE and uWUE, especially when a combination of different SIF bands and a GPR model is used. At an hourly time step, canopy-level SIF emission can explain as high as 65% and 61% of the variances in IWUE and uWUE. Specifically, we find that (1) a daily time step by averaging hourly values during daytime can enhance the SIF-IWUE correlations, (2) the SIF-IWUE correlations decrease when photosynthetically active radiation and air temperature exceed their optimal biological thresholds, (3) a low Leaf Area Index (LAI) has a negative effect on the SIF-IWUE correlations due to large evaporation fluxes, (4) a high LAI in summer also reduces the SIF-IWUE correlations most likely due to increasing scattering and (re)absorption of the SIF signal, and (5) the observation time during the day has a strong impact on the SIF-IWUE correlations and SIF measurements in the early morning have the lowest power to estimate IWUE due to the large evaporation of dew. This study provides a new way to evaluate the stomatal regulation of plant-gas exchange without complex parameterizations.This research was supported by U.S. Department of Energy Office of Biological and Environmental Research

Modelling, Monitoring and Validation of Plant Phenology Products
PhΓ€nologie, die Lehre der periodisch wiederkehrenden Entwicklungserscheinungen in der Natur, hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten zu einem wichtigen Teilgebiet der Klimaforschung entwickelt. Einer der Haupteffekte der globalen ErwΓ€rmung ist die VerΓ€nderung der Wachstumsmuster und Fortpflanzungsgewohnheiten von Pflanzen, und somit verΓ€nderte PhΓ€nologie. Um die Auswirkungen der KlimaverΓ€nderung auf wildwachsende sowie Kulturpflanzen vorherzusagen, werden phΓ€nologische Modelle angewendet, verbessert und validiert. Dabei ist Wissen ΓΌber den aktuellen Stand der Vegetation notwendig, welches aus Beobachtungen und fernerkundliche Messungen gewonnen wird. Die hier prΓ€sentierte Arbeit befasst sich mit dem VerstΓ€ndnis der ZusammenhΓ€nge zwischen fernerkundlichen Messungen und phΓ€nologischen Stadien und somit den Herausforderungen der modernen phΓ€nologischen Forschung: Der Vorhersage der PhΓ€nologie durch ModellierungsansΓ€tze, der Beobachtung der PhΓ€nologie mit optischen boden- und satellitengestΓΌtzten Sensoren und der Validierung phΓ€nologischer Produkte.Phenology, the study of recurring life cycle events of plants and animals has emerged as an important part of climate change research within the last decades. One of the main effects of global warming on vegetation is altered phenology, since plants have to modify their growth patterns and reproduction habits as reaction to changing environmental conditions. Forecasting phenology, thus phenological modelling, is a timely challenge given the necessity to predict the impact of global warming on wild-growing species and agricultural crops. However, assessing the present state of vegetation, thus phenological monitoring, is essential to update and validate model results. An improved comprehension of the relationships between plant phenology and remotely sensed products is crucial to interpret these results. Consequently, the presented thesis deals with the main challenges faced in modern phenology research, covering phenological forecasting with a modelling approach, satellite-based phenology extraction, and near-surface long-term monitoring of phenology

To this end, satellite remote sensing offer maps for examining land surface in different scales. However, the detailed information was hindered under the clouds or limited by the spatial resolution of satellite imagery. Moreover, the impacts of spatial and temporal resolution in photosynthesis monitoring were not fully revealed.
In this dissertation, I aimed to enhance the spatial and temporal resolution of satellite imagery towards daily gap-free vegetation maps with high spatial resolution. In order to expand vegetation change monitoring in time and space using high-resolution satellite images, I 1) improved temporal resolution of satellite dataset through image fusion using geostationary satellites, 2) improved spatial resolution of satellite dataset using generative adversarial networks, and 3) showed the use of high spatiotemporal resolution maps for monitoring plant photosynthesis especially over heterogeneous landscapes. With the advent of new techniques in satellite remote sensing, current and past datasets can be fully utilized for monitoring vegetation changes in the respect of spatial and temporal resolution.
In Chapter 2, I developed the integrated system that implemented geostationary satellite products in the spatiotemporal image fusion method for monitoring canopy photosynthesis. The integrated system contains the series of process (i.e., cloud masking, nadir bidirectional reflectance function adjustment, spatial registration, spatiotemporal image fusion, spatial gap-filling, temporal-gap-filling). I conducted the evaluation of the integrated system over heterogeneous rice paddy landscape where the drastic land cover changes were caused by cultivation management and deciduous forest where consecutive changes occurred in time. The results showed that the integrated system well predict in situ measurements without data gaps (R2 = 0.71, relative bias = 5.64% at rice paddy site; R2 = 0.79, relative bias = -13.8% at deciduous forest site). The integrated system gradually improved the spatiotemporal resolution of vegetation maps, reducing the underestimation of in situ measurements, especially during peak growing season. Since the integrated system generates daily canopy photosynthesis maps for monitoring dynamics among regions of interest worldwide with high spatial resolution. I anticipate future efforts to reveal the hindered information by the limited spatial and temporal resolution of satellite imagery.
Detailed spatial representations of terrestrial vegetation are essential for precision agricultural applications and the monitoring of land cover changes in heterogeneous landscapes. The advent of satellite-based remote sensing has facilitated daily observations of the Earths surface with high spatial resolution. In particular, a data fusion product such as Planet Fusion has realized the delivery of daily, gap-free surface reflectance data with 3-m pixel resolution through full utilization of relatively recent (i.e., 2018-) CubeSat constellation data. However, the spatial resolution of past satellite sensors (i.e., 30β60 m for Landsat) has restricted the detailed spatial analysis of past changes in vegetation. In Chapter 3, to overcome the spatial resolution constraint of Landsat data for long-term vegetation monitoring, we propose a dual remote-sensing super-resolution generative adversarial network (dual RSS-GAN) combining Planet Fusion and Landsat 8 data to simulate spatially enhanced long-term time-series of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and near-infrared reflectance from vegetation (NIRv). We evaluated the performance of the dual RSS-GAN against in situ tower-based continuous measurements (up to 8 years) and remotely piloted aerial system-based maps of cropland and deciduous forest in the Republic of Korea. The dual RSS-GAN enhanced spatial representations in Landsat 8 images and captured seasonal variation in vegetation indices (R2 > 0.95, for the dual RSS-GAN maps vs. in situ data from all sites). Overall, the dual RSS-GAN reduced Landsat 8 vegetation index underestimations compared with in situ measurements; relative bias values of NDVI ranged from β3.2% to 1.2% and β12.4% to β3.7% for the dual RSS-GAN and Landsat 8, respectively. This improvement was caused by spatial enhancement through the dual RSS-GAN, which captured fine-scale information from Planet Fusion. This study presents a new approach for the restoration of hidden sub-pixel spatial information in Landsat images.
Mapping canopy photosynthesis in both high spatial and temporal resolution is essential for carbon cycle monitoring in heterogeneous areas. However, well established satellites in sun-synchronous orbits such as Sentinel-2, Landsat and MODIS can only provide either high spatial or high temporal resolution but not both. Recently established CubeSat satellite constellations have created an opportunity to overcome this resolution trade-off. In particular, Planet Fusion allows full utilization of the CubeSat data resolution and coverage while maintaining high radiometric quality. In Chapter 4, I used the Planet Fusion surface reflectance product to calculate daily, 3-m resolution, gap-free maps of the near-infrared radiation reflected from vegetation (NIRvP). I then evaluated the performance of these NIRvP maps for estimating canopy photosynthesis by comparing with data from a flux tower network in Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California, USA. Overall, NIRvP maps captured temporal variations in canopy photosynthesis of individual sites, despite changes in water extent in the wetlands and frequent mowing in the crop fields. When combining data from all sites, however, I found that robust agreement between NIRvP maps and canopy photosynthesis could only be achieved when matching NIRvP maps to the flux tower footprints. In this case of matched footprints, NIRvP maps showed considerably better performance than in situ NIRvP in estimating canopy photosynthesis both for daily sum and data around the time of satellite overpass (R2 = 0.78 vs. 0.60, for maps vs. in situ for the satellite overpass time case). This difference in performance was mostly due to the higher degree of consistency in slopes of NIRvP-canopy photosynthesis relationships across the study sites for flux tower footprint-matched maps. Our results show the importance of matching satellite observations to the flux tower footprint and demonstrate the potential of CubeSat constellation imagery to monitor canopy photosynthesis remotely at high spatio-temporal resolution.Chapter 1.

A Neural Network Method for Classification of Sunlit and Shaded Components of Wheat Canopies in the Field Using High-Resolution Hyperspectral Imagery
(1) Background: Information rich hyperspectral sensing, together with robust image analysis, is providing new research pathways in plant phenotyping. This combination facilitates the acquisition of spectral signatures of individual plant organs as well as providing detailed information about the physiological status of plants. Despite the advances in hyperspectral technology in field-based plant phenotyping, little is known about the characteristic spectral signatures of shaded and sunlit components in wheat canopies. Non-imaging hyperspectral sensors cannot provide spatial information; thus, they are not able to distinguish the spectral reflectance differences between canopy components. On the other hand, the rapid development of high-resolution imaging spectroscopy sensors opens new opportunities to investigate the reflectance spectra of individual plant organs which lead to the understanding of canopy biophysical and chemical characteristics.
(2) Method: This study reports the development of a computer vision pipeline to analyze ground-acquired imaging spectrometry with high spatial and spectral resolutions for plant phenotyping. The work focuses on the critical steps in the image analysis pipeline from pre-processing to the classification of hyperspectral images. In this paper, two convolutional neural networks (CNN) are employed to automatically map wheat canopy components in shaded and sunlit regions and to determine their specific spectral signatures. The first method uses pixel vectors of the full spectral features as inputs to the CNN model and the second method integrates the dimension reduction technique known as linear discriminate analysis (LDA) along with the CNN to increase the feature discrimination and improves computational efficiency.
(3) Results: The proposed technique alleviates the limitations and lack of separability inherent in existing pre-defined hyperspectral classification methods. It optimizes the use of hyperspectral imaging and ensures that the data provide information about the spectral characteristics of the targeted plant organs, rather than the background. We demonstrated that high-resolution hyperspectral imagery along with the proposed CNN model can be powerful tools for characterizing sunlit and shaded components of wheat canopies in the field. The presented method will provide significant advances in the determination and relevance of spectral properties of shaded and sunlit canopy components under natural light conditions
Diversity of 3D APAR and LAI dynamics in broadleaf and coniferous forests: Implications for the interpretation of remote sensing-based products
Forests substantially mediate the water and carbon dioxide exchanges between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. The rate of this exchange, including evapotranspiration (ET) and gross primary production (GPP), depends mainly on the underlying vegetation type, health state, and the composition of abiotic environmental drivers. However, the complex 3D structure of forest canopies and the inherent top-view perspective of optical and thermal remote sensing complicate remote sensing-based retrievals of biotic and abiotic factors that eventually determine ET and GPP. This study investigates the sensitivity of remote sensing approaches to 3D variation of abiotic and biotic environmental drivers. We use 3D virtual scenes of two structurally different Swiss forests and the radiative transfer model DART to simulate the 3D distribution of solar irradiance and reflected radiance in the forest canopy. These simulations, in combination with LiDAR data, are used to derive the absorbed photosynthetic active radiation (APAR) and the leaf area index (LAI) in 3D space. The 3D variation of both parameters was quantified and analyzed. We then simulated images of the top-of-canopy bi-directional reflectance factor (BRF) and compared them with the hemispheric-conical reflectance factor (HCRF) data derived from HyPlant airborne imaging spectrometer measurements. The simulated BRF data was used to derive APAR and LAI, and the results were compared to their respective 3D representations. We unravel considerable spatial differences between both representations. We discuss possible reasons for the disagreement, including a potential insensitivity of the inherent top-of-canopy view for the real 3D product dynamics and limitations of the processing of remote sensing data, especially the approximation of effective surface irradiance. Our results can help understanding sources of uncertainties in remote sensing based gas exchange products and defining mitigation strategies
Crop Disease Detection Using Remote Sensing Image Analysis
Pest and crop disease threats are often estimated by complex changes in crops and the applied agricultural practices that result mainly from the increasing food demand and climate change at global level. In an attempt to explore high-end and sustainable solutions for both pest and crop disease management, remote sensing technologies have been employed, taking advantages of possible changes deriving from relative alterations in the metabolic activity of infected crops which in turn are highly associated to crop spectral reflectance properties. Recent developments applied to high resolution data acquired with remote sensing tools, offer an additional tool which is the opportunity of mapping the infected field areas in the form of patchy land areas or those areas that are susceptible to diseases. This makes easier the discrimination between healthy and diseased crops, providing an additional tool to crop monitoring. The current book brings together recent research work comprising of innovative applications that involve novel remote sensing approaches and their applications oriented to crop disease detection. The book provides an in-depth view of the developments in remote sensing and explores its potential to assess health status in crops
Nocturnal Light Emitting Diode Induced Fluorescence (LEDIF) : A new technique to measure the chlorophyll a fluorescence emission spectral distribution of plant canopies in situ
Solar-induced chlorophyll a Fluorescence (SIF), which is distributed over a relatively broad (similar to 200 nm) spectral range, is a signal intricately connected to the efficiency of photosynthesis and is now observable from space. Variants of the Fraunhofer Line Depth/Discriminator (FLD) method are used as the basis of retrieval algorithms for estimating SIF from space. Although typically unobserved directly, recent advances in FLD-based algorithms now facilitate the prediction (by model inversion) of the canopy emitted fluorescence spectrum from the discrete-feature FLD retrievals. Here we present first canopy scale measurements of chlorophyll a fluorescence spectra emitted from Scots pine at two times of year, and also from a lingonberry dominated understory. We used a high power mul-tispectral Light Emitting Diode (LED) array to illuminate the respective canopies at night and measured under standardised conditions using a field spectrometer mounted in the nadir position above the canopy. We refer to the technique, which facilitates the in situ upscaling of a commonly measured leaf scale quantity to the canopy, as nocturnal LED-Induced chlorophyll a Fluorescence (LEDIF). The shape of the LEDIF spectra was dependant on the colour of the excitation light and also on the dominant species. Because we measured pine at two different times of year we were also able to show an increase in the canopy scale apparent quantum yield of fluorescence which was consistent with leaf-level increase in fluorescence yield recorded with a monitoring PAM fluorometer. The automation of the LEDIF technique could be used to estimate seasonal changes in canopy fluorescence spectra and yield from fixed or mobile platforms and provide a window into functional traits across species and architectures. LEDIF could also be used to evaluate FLD and inversion-based retrievals of canopy spectra, as well as different irradiance normalisation schemes typically applied to SIF data to account for the dependence of SIF on ambient light conditions.Peer reviewe
