TY - Data T1 - Three global products of leaf photosynthetic capacity derived from satellite observations A1 - Chen Jingming DO - 10.5281/zenodo.6466968 PY - 2024 DA - 2024-03-27 PB - National Cryosphere Desert Data Center AB - Green leaves contain chlorophyll pigments that can collect light for photosynthesis and emit chlorophyll fluorescence as a byproduct. Chlorophyll pigments and fluorescence can both be measured through Earth orbit satellite sensors. Here, we demonstrate that using these measurements can reliably determine the photosynthetic capacity of leaves on a global scale. This new satellite based information overcomes the bottleneck of global ecological research, which currently lacks clear spatial information.
