Abstract

A brief review is given of literature on remote sensing of chlorophyll fluorescence. The objective of the project ‘Laser Induced Fluorescence of Trees’ (LIFT) is to investigate the possible use of this technique to observe and monitor vegetation stress by air pollution. The instrumentation and set up is briefly described and measuring results are presented. Relative highs in air pollution appear to be associated with anomalies in fluorescence, implying a stress situation to the plant. Particularly the effect of rather low concentrations ozone (20–30 ppb), possibly in combination with SO2, is very strong.
