What is the purpose of having multiple chlorophylls and what do the other pigments serve ?
Light that the chlorophyll-a pigment uses may be measured by the solar-induced fluorescence (650-850nm). This fluorescence caused by the sun and a plant's gross primary output are correlated linearly.
Why can solar induced fluorescence be used to infer net photosynthesis?
