Agroecosystem Sustainability Center is hosting a seminar featuring Dr. Brian Bailey from UC Davis on April 30th, 10:00–11:00 a.m. in W-121 Turner Hall.

An Agroecosystem Sustainability Center study used ground-based instruments to measure solar-induced fluorescence that reflect plant health and photosynthesis. The dataset can be used to gain insights into the relationship between far-red SIF and canopy-level photosynthesis. asc.illinois.edu/uncategorized/…
