An automated field spectroscopy system was used to obtain continuous and long-term measurements of maize canopy in four field plots with different irrigation treatments. This system collects visible to near-infrared spectra with a spectrometer, which provides a sub-nanometer spectral resolution in the spectral range of 480~850 nm. The red SIF (FR) and far red SIF (FFR) data were retrieved by Spectral Fitting Methods (SFM) in the      O 2     -A band and      O 2     -B band, respectively. In addition to PRI,     \u0394 PRI     values were derived from PRI by subtracting an early morning PRI value. Photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) data, the canopy fraction of absorbed PAR (fPAR), and the air\/canopy temperature and photosystem II operating efficiency (YII) at the leaf scale were collected concurrently. In this paper, the diurnal dynamics of each parameter before and after watering at the jointing stage were compared. The results showed that (i) both FR and FFR decreased under water stress, but FR always peaked at noon, and the peak of FFR advanced with the increase in stress. Leaf folding and the increase in Non-photochemical Quenching (NPQ) are the main reasons for this trend. Leaf YII gradually decreased from 8:00 to 14:00 and then recovered. In drought, leaf YII was smaller and decreased more rapidly. Therefore, the fluorescence yield at both the leaf and canopy scale responded to water stress. (ii) As good indicators of changes in NPQ, diurnal PRI and     \u0394 PRI     data also showed specific decreases due to water stress.     \u0394 PRI     can eliminate the impact of canopy structure. Under water stress,     \u0394 PRI     decreased rapidly from 8:00 to 13:00, and the maximum range of this decrease was approximately 0.05. After 13:00, their values started to increase but could not recover to their morning level. (iii) Higher canopy-air temperature differences (    \u0394 T    ) indicate that stomatal closure leads to an increase in leaf temperature, which maintains a higher state in the afternoon. In summary, to cope with water stress, both leaf folding and changes in physiology are activated. To monitor drought, SIF performs best around midday, and PRI is better after noon.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10101510","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,21]],"date-time":"2018-09-21T03:46:35Z","timestamp":1537501595000},"page":"1510","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Diurnal Response of Sun-Induced Fluorescence and PRI to Water Stress in Maize Using a Near-Surface Remote Sensing Platform"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5379-8621","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shan","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science, Jointly Sponsored by Beijing Normal University and Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100875, China"},{"name":"Beijing Engineering Research Center for Global Land Remote Sensing Products, Institute of Remote Sensing Science and Engineering, Faculty of Geographical Science, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China"}]},{"given":"Zhigang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science, Jointly Sponsored by Beijing Normal University and Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100875, China"},{"name":"Beijing Engineering Research Center for Global Land Remote Sensing Products, Institute of Remote Sensing Science and Engineering, Faculty of Geographical Science, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China"}]},{"given":"Liang","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science, Jointly Sponsored by Beijing Normal University and Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100875, China"},{"name":"Beijing Engineering Research Center for Global Land Remote Sensing Products, Institute of Remote Sensing Science and Engineering, Faculty of Geographical Science, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China"}]},{"given":"Huarong","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, Beijing 100081, China"}]},{"given":"Sanxue","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, Beijing 100081, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Mohammed, G.H., Goulas, Y., Magnani, F., Moreno, J., Olejn\u00ed\u010dkov\u00e1, J., Rascher, U., Van der Tol, C., Verhoef, W., A\u010d, A., and Daumard, F.
