Tropical forests are not all the same: they show many shades of geographical variation. Our new paper in Nature led by @jeaggu.bsky.social combines field and satellite data to make a first map the canopy functional traits of the world’s tropical forests: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

West African tropical forest have the highest productivity we have yet observed anywhere in the tropics, yet both models commonly fail to capture this productivity. In this new paper on Nature Communications we explain why… ⁦⁦⁦⁦⁦ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Why models underestimate West African tropical forest primary productivity - Nature Communications
This study finds that vegetation models commonly underestimate the productivity of West African forests, owing to bias in fractional absorbed photosynthetic radiation (fAPAR) and leaf level photosynth...
