“…Drought stress significantly reduced the final yield of a barley crop up to 42% compared with the normal moisture regime [4]. Song et al [42] also found that drought stress at different critical growth stages caused severe losses to the plant growth and yield and its severity depended on the stage of growth at which it occurred. There are other previous studies on wheat crops related to soil, which showed a positive impact under drought and other climatic conditions [43][44][45][46][47].…”

Traditional mulch material (farmyard manure) has long been used in agriculture. However, recent developments have also introduced the scientific community and farmers to advanced chemicals such as potassium polyacrylamide (KPAM), which has revolutionised the concept of the soil water-holding capacity to many compared with other materials being used. To compare the effect of different organic and inorganic soil amendment materials under water stress conditions, a two-year (2018 and 2019) field study was conducted. The main plots consisted of irrigation treatments, i.e., I0 (control irrigation), I1 (drought-induced by skipping irrigation at the 4th leaf stage), and I2 (drought-induced by skipping irrigation at the anthesis stage). The subplots included a control treatment and soil amended with different conditioners such as potassium polyacrylamide (KPAM, 30 kg/ha), farmyard manure (FYM, 4 tons/ha), and biochar (10 tons/ha); these were mixed thoroughly with the soil before sowing. The results showed a significant reduction in the water relation parameters (water potential up to 35.77% and relative water content up to 21%), gas exchange parameters (net CO2 assimilation rate up to 28.85%, stomatal conductance up to 43.18%, and transpiration rate up to 49.07%), and yield attributes (biological yield up to 8.45% and grain yield up to 32.22%) under drought stress conditions. In addition, water stress also induced an increase in the synthesis of osmoprotectants (proline up to 77.74%, total soluble sugars up to 27.43%, and total free amino acids up to 11.73%). Among all the soil conditioners used, KPAM significantly reduced the negative effects of drought stress on the wheat plants. Thus, it could be concluded that the use of soil conditioners is a promising method for dealing with the negative consequences of drought stress for achieving sustainable crop yields.

Red solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIFB) is closely related to the photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by chlorophyll. The scattering and reabsorption of SIFB by the vegetation canopy significantly change the spectral intensity and shape of SIF, which affects the relationship between SIF and crop stress. To address this, we propose a method of modifying SIFB using SIF spectral shape characteristic parameters to reduce this influence. A red pseudokurtosis (PKB) parameter that can characterize spectral shape features was calculated using full-spectrum SIF data. On this basis, we analyzed the photosynthetic physiological mechanism of PKB and found that it significantly correlates with both the fraction of photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by chlorophyll(fPARchl) and the red SIF escape rate (fesc680); thus, it is closely related to the scattering and reabsorption of SIFB by the vegetation canopy. Consequently, we constructed an expression of PKB to modify SIFB. To evaluate the modified SIFB (MSIFB) in monitoring the severity of wheat stripe rust, we analyzed the correlations between SIFB, MSIFB, SIFB-VIs (a fusion of the vegetation index and SIFB), and MSIFB-VIs (a fusion of the vegetation index and MSIFB) with the severity level (SL), respectively. The results show that the correlation between MSIFB and the severity of wheat stripe rust increased by an average of 25.6% and at least 16.95% compared with that for SIFB. In addition, we constructed remote sensing monitoring models for wheat stripe rust using linear regression methods, with SIFB, MSIFB, SIFB-VIs, and MSIFB-VIs as independent variables. PKB significantly improves the accuracy and robustness of models based on SIFB and its fusion index SIFB-VIs in the constructed testing set. The R-value between the predicted SL and the measured SL of the remote sensing monitoring model for wheat stripe rust was established using MSIFB-VIs as the independent variable, and it was improved by an average of 39.49% compared with the model using SIFB-VIs. The RMSE was reduced by an average of 18.22%. Therefore, the SIFB modified by PKB can weaken the effects of chlorophyll reabsorption and canopy architecture on SIFB and improve the ability of SIFB to detect stress information.

Abstract. The maximum rate of Rubisco carboxylation (Vcmax) determines leaf photosynthetic capacity and is a key parameter for estimating the terrestrial carbon cycle, but its spatial information is lacking, hindering global ecological research. Here, we convert leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) retrieved from satellite data to Vcmax, based on plants' optimal distribution of nitrogen between light harvesting and carboxylation pathways. We also derive Vcmax from satellite (GOME-2) observations of sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) as a proxy of leaf photosynthesis using a data assimilation technique. These two independent global Vcmax products agree well (r2=0.79,RMSE=15.46µmol m−2 s−1, P<0.001) and compare well with 3672 ground-based measurements (r2=0.69,RMSE=13.8µmol m−2 s−1 and P<0.001 for SIF; r2=0.55,RMSE=18.28µmol m−2 s−1 and P<0.001 for LCC). The LCC-derived Vcmax product is also used to constrain the retrieval of Vcmax from TROPical Ozone Mission (TROPOMI) SIF data to produce an optimized Vcmax product using both SIF and LCC information. The global distributions of these products are compatible with Vcmax computed from an ecological optimality theory using meteorological variables, but importantly reveal additional information on the influence of land cover, irrigation, soil pH, and leaf nitrogen on leaf photosynthetic capacity. These satellite-based approaches and spatial Vcmax products are primed to play a major role in global ecosystem research. The three remote sensing Vcmax products based on SIF, LCC, and SIF+LCC are available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6466968 (Chen et al., 2022), and the code for implementing the ecological optimality theory is available at https://github.com/SmithEcophysLab/optimal_vcmax_R and https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5899564 (last access: 31 August 2022) (Smith et al., 2022).
