  abstract = {{T}his paper examines the relationship between spectral indices (the normalized difference vegetation index [{NDVI}] and photochemical reflectance index [{PRI}]) and the photosynthetic capacities based on chlorophyll fluorescence ({F}-v/{F}-m) of moss-, lichen- and cyanobactcria-dominated biological soil crusts collected from the {G}urbantonggut {D}esert, {X}injiang, {C}hina, based on a liquid-water hydration experiment. {W}hile no photosynthetic activity was detected for dry crusts, hydrated crusts showed significantly higher {F}-v/{F}-m values than dry crusts. {A} significant correlation between the {PRI} and {F}-v/{F}-m was found in moss- and lichen-dominated crusts, and the determination coefficients were higher than those between the {NDVI} and {F}-v/{F}-m.},
