Abstract
Space-borne sun-induced fluorescence (SIF) is the latest breakthrough in remote sensing of physiological response of plants. We studied the seasonality of sal (Shorea robusta) forest canopies analysing space-borne SIF and reflectance data collected over moist and dry sites in central India. Results indicate that the monthly response of OCO-2 SIF, MODIS NDVI and GPP differs significantly across the wet and dry forest sites. SIF explained higher seasonal variations and was also better correlated to rainfall across sites compared to NDVI.
