Paper accepted using solar-induced fluorescence to estimate crop productivity
● The photosynthetic pathway (C3, C4) impacts the relationship between CO2 uptake and SIF, which helps to interpret satellite signals.
● TROPOMI SIF agrees well with the seasonality of crop gross primary production (GPP) when accounting for C3/C4 fractionation.
● TROPOMI SIF is highly correlated with USDA reported crop productivity at the county scale.
