Summary • Over the last decade, technological developments have made it possible to quickly and nondestructively assess, in situ, the chlorophyll (Chl) status of plants. We evaluated the performance of these optical methods, which are based on the absorbance or reflectance of certain wavelengths of light by intact leaves. • As our benchmark, we used standard extraction techniques to measure Chla, Chlb, and total Chl content of paper birch (Betula papyrifera) leaves. These values were compared…

Non-destructive estimation of foliar chlorophyll and carotenoid contents: Focus on informative spectral bands

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ABSOLUTE AND RELATIVE CONTENT OF CHLOROPHYLL IN

The traditional methods for chlorophylls quantification in leaves are destructive, time consuming and expensive. One alternative to the destructive methods involve the use portable devices, such as…

Evaluation of the Methods for Estimating Leaf Chlorophyll Content with SPAD Chlorophyll Meters

Leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) is an indicator of leaf photosynthetic capacity. It is crucial for improving the understanding of plant physiological status. SPAD meters are routinely used to provide…

Evaluation of the Reliability of the CCM-300 Chlorophyll Content Meter in Measuring Chlorophyll Content for Various Plant Functional Types

The results show that the CCM-300 is reliable to demonstrate coarse variations in chlorophyll but may be limited for cross-plant functional type studies and comparisons across years, and a slight deterioration in meter performance between years.

Nondestructive Estimation of Anthocyanin Content in Grapevine Leaves

The ARI and MARI algorithms were capable of accurately predicting Anth content in grapevine leaves with a root mean square error below 3 nmol cm-2 and 2.3 nmolcm-2, respectively, and have potential for developing simple hand-held field instrumentation for accurate nondestructive Anth estimation.

Assessment of Photosynthetic Pigment and Water Contents in Intact Sunflower Plants from Spectral Indices

The low scattering of the average values around the fitted models indicates that WI and CCI were effective in representing changes in water and chlorophyll status for sunflowers, and the benefits of using hand-held optical meters for reflectance and transmittance are that they enable rapid, accurate, and nondestructive assessments of water and chlorine contents in sunflower plants from radiometric indicators.

The results suggest that the red edge could be used to estimate the chlorophyll content in branches, but it is unlikely to be of value for the estimation of chlorophylla content in canopies unless the canopy cover is high.

Differentiation among effects of nitrogen fertilization treatments on conifer seedlings by foliar reflectance: a comparison of methods.

Several methods of reflectance analysis were compared for the capacity to differentiate among effects of fertilization treatments across different irradiances on seedlings of Engelmann spruce, and all five indices were weakly but significantly correlated with growth as measured by dry weight.
