Effects of Drought on the Relationship Between Photosynthesis and Chlorophyll Fluorescence for Maize

Structural–physiological factors affect the accurate estimation of vegetation gross primary production (GPP) under various types of environmental stress. Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), which is directly linked to photosynthesis, has been effectively used to estimate and mon...
