abstract = {Current and upcoming Sun‑Induced chlorophyll Fluorescence
(SIF) satellite products(e.g., GOME, TROPOMI, OCO, FLEX)
have medium‑to‑coarse spatial resolutions (i.e.,
0.3–80 km)and integrate radiances from different sources
into a single ground surface unit (i.e., pixel).
However,intrapixel heterogeneity, i.e., different soil and
vegetation fractional cover and/or different
chlorophyllcontent or vegetation structure in a fluorescence
pixel, increases the challenge in retrievingand quantifying
SIF. High spatial resolution Sentinel‑2 (S2) data (20 m)
can be used to better characterizethe intrapixel
heterogeneity of SIF and potentially extend the application
of satellite‑derivedSIF to heterogeneous areas. In the
context of the COST Action Optical synergies for
spatiotemporalSENsing of Scalable ECOphysiological traits
(SENSECO), in which this study was conducted, weproposed
direct (i.e., spatial heterogeneity coefficient, standard
deviation, normalized entropy, ensembledecision trees) and
patch mosaic (i.e., local Moran’s I) approaches to
characterize the spatialheterogeneity of SIF collected at
760 and 687 nm (SIF760 and SIF687, respectively) and to
correlateit with the spatial heterogeneity of selected S2
derivatives. We used HyPlant airborne imagery acquiredover
an agricultural area in Braccagni (Italy) to emulate
S2‑like top‑of‑the‑canopy reflectanceand SIF imagery
at different spatial resolutions (i.e., 300, 20, and 5 m).
The ensemble decision treesmethod characterized FLEX
intrapixel heterogeneity best (R2 > 0.9 for all predictors
with respect toSIF760 and SIF687). Nevertheless, the
standard deviation and spatial heterogeneity coefficient
using kmeansclustering scene classification also provided
acceptable results. In particular, the
near‑infraredreflectance of terrestrial vegetation (NIRv)
index accounted for most of the spatial heterogeneity
ofSIF760 in all applied methods (R2 = 0.76 with the standard
deviation method; R2 = 0.63 with the spatialheterogeneity
coefficient method using a scene classification map with 15
classes). The models developed for SIF687 did not perform as
well as those for SIF760, possibly due to the
uncertaintiesin fluorescence retrieval at 687 nm and the low
signal‑to‑noise ratio in the red spectral region.
Ourstudy shows the potential of the proposed methods to be
implemented as part of the FLEX groundsegment processing
chain to quantify the intrapixel heterogeneity of a FLEX
pixel and/or as a qualityflag to determine the reliability
of the retrieved fluorescence.},
