This invention discloses a
scalable distributed multi-chamber open-path photosynthetic measurement
system and method, relating to the field of
plant physiological and ecological measurement technology. The
system includes a main unit and at least two distributed chambers. The main unit centrally manages
gas supply, concentration mixing, flow control, and high-precision concentration
differential analysis. Each chamber is an independent unit, equipped with an adjustable LED
light source, thermoelectric
temperature control module, multiple types of sensors, independent power supply, and
wireless communication module. An
open path is formed through the
gas supply pipeline and the return pipeline. The core of the method lies in the main unit
polling and sampling the return gas from each chamber according to a preset program through a multi-channel automatic switching valve group. Combined with a "flushing stabilization" strategy, a single
gas analysis unit is used to achieve high-precision, high-
throughput parallel measurement of multiple chambers. This invention solves the problems of low
throughput and high cost of traditional open-path instruments, achieving a balance between high precision and high
throughput, and supports in-situ deployment in the field and remote monitoring.
