Abstract

See full text

Methods, devices, and systems for measuring carbon assimilation based on simultaneous or near-simultaneous measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence and stomatal conductance of plant. A sample containing chlorophyll, such as a plant leaf, is illuminated with light, e.g., in the form of a single saturating pulse or multiple pulses, and chlorophyll fluorescence and stomatal conductance of the chlorophyll sample are measured. A porometer or infra-red gas analyzer is used to measure stomatal conductance and a photodetector is used to measure fluorescence. A carbon assimilation value for the chlorophyll sample is determined using the measured chlorophyll fluorescence and the measured stomatal conductance.
