abstract = {Remote sensing of hyperspectral vegetation reflectance and
solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) isessential for
evaluating crop functionality and photosynthetic
performance. While primarily applied in monocultures,these
tools show promise in diverse cropping systems, enhancing
ecological intensification. Plant-plantinteractions in such
systems can influence key physiological processes, such as
photosynthesis, making SIF avaluable tool for evaluating how
crop diversity affects photosynthetic function and
productivity. However,detecting SIF in diverse stands
remains challenging due to uncertainties in light
re-absorption and scattering. Toaddress these challenges, we
propose a hybrid model inversion framework that combines
canopy observationswith physical modeling to derive leaf
biochemical, canopy structural variables, and SIF spectra at
leaf andphotosystem levels. This approach employs a machine
learning retrieval algorithm (MLRA), trained on
syntheticspectra from radiative transfer model (RTM)
simulations, to quantify re-absorption and scattering
effects. Usingthe SpecFit retrieval algorithm, the temporal
evolution of full-spectrum SIF at the canopy level can be
derived. Todownscale SIF to the photosystem level and
retrieve its quantum yield, we corrected the canopy SIF
spectrum forre-absorption and scattering effects calculated
from TOC reflectance. Spectral measurements were gathered
fromfield experiments conducted over three years, covering
various growth stages of cereal and legume monocropsand
their mixture. Our method accurately predicts important leaf
biochemical and canopy structural variables,such as leaf
area (LAI, R2 = 0.75) and leaf chlorophyll content (LCC, R2
= 0.91), and shows a general highretrieval performance for
light absorption (fAPARChl, R2 = 0.99 for the internal model
validation). We confirmedthe reliability of our method in
modeling re-absorption and scattering processes by comparing
canopy SIFdownscaled to the leaf level with independent
leaf-level SIF measurements. While the results show a
goodprediction accuracy in terms of fluorescence magnitude
at the leaf level, we did not find a strong agreement
ofcorresponding leaf and canopy measurements at the single
plot level.},
