Abstract
Induction kinetics of chlorophyll fluorescence (the Kautsky effect) and delayed fluorescence (DF) of some cold climate species were studied in both laboratory and in situ experiments to assess their vlaue as indicators of plant health. Experiments included studies of natural variability of fluorescence in connection with the seasonal leaf maturation process, as well as the influence of environmental stress factors, such as ozone. It was found that parameters of induction curves (normalized variable fluorescence, time of its half decrease) could be used as indicators of plant health. No significant differences have been elicited between the information content of the Kautsky effect and induction curves of DF as tools for remote sensing. It is suggested that measurements of the single decay curves of DF are preferable for remote estimation of photosynthetic capacity.
