However, due to the change in the relationship between SPAD values and Chl content during the course of autumn senescence, it may be necessary to establish separate calibration equations to cover a range of leaf Chl concentrations.<br \/>\n<strong>Context<\/strong> Non-destructive estimates of leaf chlorophyll (Chl) content by hand-held chlorophyll meters such as the Minolta SPAD-502 provide an effective time-efficient method of collecting field data on senescence.<br \/>\n<strong>Aims<\/strong> To establish useable species-specific calibration equations of relationships between chlorophyll meter readings and leaf Chl content.<br \/>\n<strong>Methods<\/strong> During autumn, we collected SPAD values and quantum yield of photosystem-II (\u03a6PSII) over a 10-week period from 1044 leaf samples representing native and non-native temperate deciduous shrub species growing in the wild. Subsequently, Chl was extracted from leaf discs (1 cm diameter), incubated at 65 \u00b0C for 2 h in dimethyl sulfoxide, and quantified by spectroscopy. Relationships between extracted Chl and SPAD values were established using linear, quadratic, and exponential equations.<br \/>\n<strong>Results<\/strong> Quadratic functions proved the most reliable fit for the data. Interestingly, non-native species tended to have higher leaf Chl content and SPAD values but also exhibited higher variability than native species. The strength (r2) of the SPAD-Chl relationships was weaker than those reported for agricultural or greenhouse-grown plants, but strengthened over time as Chl, \u03a6PSII, and SPAD values declined.<br \/>\n<strong>Conclusion<\/strong> The SPAD meter proved effective at estimating leaf Chl content of native and non-native temperate deciduous shrubs. These estimates may be used in future to validate remote sensing (satellite and near-surface) vegetation indices in late autumn when trees are leafless.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong><br \/>\nTemperate deciduous shrubs, Native and non-native, SPAD-502 meter, Quantum yield of photosystem II, Leaf chlorophyll content, Autumn senescence<\/p>\n<div class='altmetric-embed' data-badge-type='donut' data-doi='10.1007\/s13595-020-00940-6'  style='float: right; ' ><\/div>\n<p><strong>Publication<\/strong><br \/>\nDonnelly, A., Yu, R., Rehberg, C. et al.
