Abstract

Extensive experimental and theoretical studies have demonstrated that vegetation fluorescence serves as a proxy for the actual photosynthesis. Just recently, ESA initiated several activities addressing key challenges in exploiting the fluorescence signal at satellite level. These include an instrument feasibility study, campaign activities, scientific studies, and workshops.
