Enhancing ecosystem productivity and stability with increasing canopy structural complexity in global forests

Forest canopy structural complexity (CSC) plays a crucial role in shaping forest ecosystem productivity and stability, but the precise nature of their relationships remains controversial. Here, we provided the datasets and codes for investigating this issue at a global scale.Researchers utilizing these datasets and codes should cite the following paper:Liu, X., Feng, Y., Hu, T., Luo, Y., Zhao, X., Wu, J., Maeda, E. E., Ju, W., Liu, L., Guo, Q., & Su, Y. (2024). Enhancing ecosystem productivity and stability with increasing canopy structural complexity in global forests. Science Advances, 10, eadl1947.
