Improved understanding of the spatially-heterogeneous relationship between satellite solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence and ecosystem productivity

Satellite solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) is deemed as a good proxy for vegetation photosynthesis. To date, SIF has been shown to correlate strongly with gross primary productivity (GPP) at ecosystem scale and perform well in monitoring the impacts of extreme climate events on ecosystem...

To date, SIF has been shown to correlate strongly with gross primary productivity (GPP) at ecosystem scale and perform well in monitoring the impacts of extreme climate events on ecosystem productivity.
