Researchers at Nanjing University have proved that low-cost spectrometers can measure when plants emit red light, which positively indicates plant health and food growth. Solar-induced chlorophyll ...

They also tracked a faint reddish light that plants emit during photosynthesis, when a plant absorbs sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into food, its chlorophyll “leaks” unused photons.

A fluorescence imaging system has been developed for detection of plant fluorescence induced by sunlight. A new technique for evaluating unknown solar intensity was introduced to the Fraunhofer line ...

When the fluorescence appears brighter, it indicates an uptick in the amount of carbon dioxide plants are taking in from the atmosphere. The data showed that prior to a flash drought, as the weather ...

NASA scientists have found that satellite-tracked plant fluorescence can predict flash droughts months in advance, aiding mitigation and understanding carbon cycle impacts during droughts. Credit: ...
