Ruonan Qiu et al.

Summary: The frequency and severity of drought are increasing in the context of global warming. This study used satellite-derived data to evaluate the impacts of the 2012 drought on crop productivity in the U.S. Midwest. The results showed that SIF and vegetation indices were able to capture the changes in photosynthesis due to water and heat stresses, with GOSIF data being the most effective in monitoring crop response to drought.

Summary: The study shows that local hydrological conditions have a significant impact on tree diversity, composition, and wood density in Amazonian forests, with wetter forests having higher diversity in well-drained locations. Southern and Western Amazonia see an increase in CWM-wd towards better drained soils, while tree species composition changes along local soil hydrological gradients in Central-Eastern, Western, and Southern Amazonia.

Potential of hotspot solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence for better tracking terrestrial photosynthesis

Dalei Hao et al.

Summary: The study reveals that leaf physiology, canopy structure, and sun-sensor geometries all affect the SIF-GPP relationship, with SIF observations in the sun-tracking hotspot direction being a better proxy of GPP. The results demonstrate the potential of normalizing SIF observations to the hotspot direction for better global GPP estimations, as well as the advantages of current and future spaceborne sun-tracking satellite missions in improving the measurement and monitoring of changes in terrestrial ecosystem GPP in response to anticipated environmental conditions on Earth.
