Phytoplankton photosynthetic physiology can be investigated through single-turnover
variable chlorophyll fluorescence (ST-ChlF) approaches, which carry unique potential
to autonomously collect data at high spatial and temporal resolution. Over the
past decades, significant progress has been made in the development and
application of ST-ChlF methods in aquatic ecosystems, and in the interpretation
of the resulting observations. At the same time, however, an increasing number
of sensor types, sampling protocols, and data processing algorithms have created
confusion and uncertainty among potential users, with a growing divergence of
practice among different research groups. In this review, we assist the existing and
upcoming user community by providing an overview of current approaches and
consensus recommendations for the use of ST-ChlF measurements to examine insitu
phytoplankton productivity and photo-physiology. We argue that a consistency of practice and adherence to basic.....
