A technique called imaging spectroscopy helps scientists “see” how plants are photosynthesizing by detecting a faint glow called solar-induced fluorescence (SIF), which is linked to how plants use sunlight to make sugars. By using specialized equipment called imaging spectrometers on towers, drones, or tripods, researchers can capture detailed images of individual leaves and plants. This allows us to study plant health and activity across space in new ways. In this talk, I’ll share tests of this imaging approach for detecting differences between plants with varying pigment status, and for ultimately helping us better understand plant metabolism. I’ll also discuss the technical challenges of using SIF, such as how small the signal is and how to reduce errors in the measurements. These insights can help improve how we monitor plant health and productivity in natural ecosystems.
