Two new remote sensing vegetation parameters derived from spaceborne spectrometers and simulated with a three dimensional radiative transfer model have been evaluated in terms of their prospects and drawbacks for the monitoring of dense vegetation canopies: (i) sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), a unique signal emitted by photosynthetically active vegetation and (ii) the canopy scattering...
Mid‐to‐high latitude forests play an important role in the terrestrial carbon cycle, but the representation of photosynthesis in boreal forests by current modelling and observational methods is still challenging. In particular, the applicability of existing satellite‐based proxies of greenness to indicate photosynthetic activity is hindered by small annual changes in green biomass of the often evergreen...
Sun-induced fluorescence (SIF) is an electromagnetic signal emitted by the chlorophyll of green leaves which has been shown to be a good proxy for plant photosynthetic activity. Recent developments in spaceborne spectrosopy have led to the derivation of the first global maps of SIF from a number of space-based spectrometers. This contribution will provide an overview on the state-of-the-art of terrestrial...
