Watch this! NASA satellites show plant fluorescence from orbit. This data is key to understanding the health of global vegetation, as it represents the portion of excess light that the plant could not absorb because it reached its capacity for photosynthesis, thus showing where on the earth plants are thriving, and where they have become stressed, dead or dormant. Scientists can use this data in vegetation models to predict how plants will interact with the changing environment.
