Abstrakt: The JIP test, based on fast chlorophyll fluorescence (ChlF) kinetics and derived parameters, is a dependable tool for studying photosynthetic efficiency under varying environmental conditions. We extracted additional information from the whole OJIP and the normalized variable fluorescence (V t ) transient curve using first and second-order derivatives to visualize and localize points of landmark events. To account for light-induced variations in the fluorescence transient, we present a time-adjusted JIP test approach in which the derivatives of the transient curve are used to determine the exact timing of the J and I steps instead of fixed time points. We compared the traditional JIP test method with the time-adjusted method in analyzing fast ChlF measurements of silver birch (Betula pendula) in field conditions studying diurnal and within-crown variation. The time-adjusted JIP test method showed potential for studying ChlF dynamics, as it takes into account potential time shifts in the occurrence of J and I steps. The exact occurrence times of J and I steps and other landmark events coincided with the times of significant differences in fluorescence intensity. Chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were linearly related to photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) at different times of day, and the values obtained by the time-adjusted JIP test showed a stronger linear regression than the traditional JIP test. For fluorescence parameters having significant differences among different times of day and crown layers, the time-adjusted JIP test resulted in more clear differences than the traditional JIP test. Diurnal ChlF intensity data indicated that differences between the southern and northern provenance were only evident under low light conditions. Taken together, our results emphasize the potential relevance of considering the time domain in the analysis of the fast ChlF induction.
