Recent developments of LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging)-based fluorosensing techniques have provided efficient tools for ground truth monitoring of vegetation. In addition, there are reports of passive detection of chlorophyll fluorescence based on the FLD (Fraunhofer Line Discriminator) principle. Further, measurements of reflectance changes in the green part of the spectrum provides access to the efficiency of photosynthesis. In this chapter, we examine these emerging techniques in order to evaluate their potential for application at different integration levels, from leaf to canopy. The necessary preparatory steps towards a space mission and the information that will be gained from satellite measurements are also evaluated.
