Solar Induced Fluorescence (SIF) Observations for Assessing Vegetation Changes Related to Floods, Drought, and Fire Impacts

Solar-Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence (SIF) provides a unique remote sensing approach for measuring photosynthetic activity, offering real-time insights into vegetation stress and productivity that surpass traditional indices (e.g. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)) in sensitivity and accuracy. This three-part training discusses the use of a remote sensing measure of photosynthesis to study the impact of extreme weather on cropland and ecosystems.
