Yearly, 500-m, Gross Primary Production of Europe from 2001 to 2016

We improved the estimation of the European GPP dynamics from 2001 to 2016 at 8-day time intervals and a 500 m spatial resolution. The study region covers mainland of Europe and part of Russia, excluding England and parts of Siberia. We applied a process-based Farquhar GPP model (FGM) to improve GPP estimation by introducing a spatially and temporally explicit Vcmax derived from the satellite-based leaf chlorophyll content. Each image is the annual total amount of GPP in unit g C m-2 yr-1. When accumulating the total amount of GPP for Europe, all images should be projected to Albers_Equal_Area Projections.
