TL;DR: Study of the merit function in the numerical inversion showed that red edge optical indices used in the minimizing function such as R/sub 750//R/sub 710/ perform better than when all single spectral reflectance channels from hyper-spectral airborne CASI data are used, and in addition, the effect of shadows and LAI variation are minimized.

TL;DR: This review distills the historical and current developments spanning the last several decades of SIF heritage and complementarity within the broader field of fluorescence science, the maturation of physiological and radiative transfer modelling, SIF signal retrieval strategies, techniques for field and airborne sensing, advances in satellite-based systems, and applications of these capabilities in evaluation of photosynthesis and stress effects.

TL;DR: A derivative chlorophyll index (DCI) was developed, a function of the combined effects of CF and Ca + b content, and used it to detect vegetation stress and accurately estimated the effective quantum yield by inverting the FRT-PROSPECT model.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of laboratory measurements of spectral reflectance and transmittance of individual leaves and from a modeling study are presented which demonstrate that effects of natural chlorophyll fluorescence (CF) are observable in the red edge spectral region.

TL;DR: A mission concept overview of the scientific goals, the key objectives related to fluorescence, and the requirements guaranteeing the fitness for purpose of the resulting scientific data set is provided.
