ABSTRACT
Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) has been used to infer photosynthetic capacity parameters (e.g., the maximum carboxylation rate Vcmax , and the maximum electron transport rate Jmax ). However, the precise mechanism and practical utility of such approach under dynamic environments remain unclear. We used the balance between the light and carbon reactions to derive theoretical equations relating chlorophyll a fluorescence (ChlF) emission and photosynthetic capacity parameters, and formulated testable hypotheses regarding the dynamic relationships between the true total ChlF emitted from PSII (SIFPSII ) and Vcmax and Jmax . We employed concurrent measurements of gas exchanges and ChlF parameters for 15 species from six biomes to test the formulated hypotheses across species, temperatures, and limitation state of carboxylation. Our results revealed that SIFPSII alone is incapable of informing the variations in Vcmax and Jmax across species, even when SIFPSII is determined under the same environmental conditions. In contrast, the product of SIFPSII and the fraction of open PSII reactions qL , which indicates the redox state of PSII, is a strong predictor of both Vcmax and Jmax , although their precise relationships vary somewhat with environmental conditions. Our findings suggest the redox state of PSII strongly influences the relationship between SIFPSII and Vcmax and Jmax .
