Based on the examination and quantitative comparison of the approaches used to assess the energy partitioning in photosystem II, the unified method was proposed to calculate the contribution of the components of nonphotochemical quenching.

Keywords: chlorophyll fluorescence; energy partitioning; photosystem II
