Abstract: In recent years, chlorophyll fluorescence analysis has been developed into a kind of new, fast, simple, and accurate technique in photosynthesis research, and widely applied in agriculture and horticulture but few in forest tree cultivation. This paper introduced the relevant parameters of chlorophyll fluorescence analysis and their biological meanings, and summarized its application in forest tree cultivation and in the research of forest tree stress physiology. Some perspectives and suggestions were put forward.
