Photosynthetically Active Radiation and Foliage Clumping Improve Satellite-Based NIRv Estimates of Gross Primary Production

Photosynthetically Active Radiation and Foliage Clumping Improve Satellite-Based NIRv Estimates of Gross Primary Production

Monitoring gross primary production (GPP) is necessary for quantifying the terrestrial carbon balance. The near-infrared reflectance of vegetation (NIRv) has been proven to be a good predictor of GPP. Given that radiation powers photosynthesis, we hypothesized that (i) the addition of photosynthetic...
