A global 0.05° gross primary productivity of sunlit and shaded leaves dataset via combining two-leaf light use efficiency model with random forest over 2002~2020

The TL-CRF model generated a global 0.05´0.05° product for eight-day gross primary productivity (GPP) of sunlit and shaded canopies from 2002 to 2020 by embedding the random forest (RF) submodule into the two-leaf light use efficiency (TL-LUE) model while considering the seasonal differences in the clumping index. The RF technique was used to integrate various environmental stress factors including meteorological, hydrological, soil properties, and elevation, thereby improving the overall scale of the complex environmental conditions to the maximum LUE. This novel GPP product could support further research on spatial and temporal patterns of the carbon cycle and its association with climate change.
