******************************************************** Map of global key plant traits V 2.1 ******************************************************** DESCRIPTION: Global key plant traits for the purpose of improving LUE modeling approach of ecosystem productivity are mapped at 0.05 degree spatial resolution. Key plant traits are dervied from TRY database. ********************************************************* DETAILS SM in mg, logged scale; NETCDF file in geographic projections canopy height in meters; NETCDF file in geographic projections Specific leaf area in m2/kg; NETCDF file in geographic projections ********************************************************** CONTACT: Nima Madani (nima.madani@ntsg.umt.edu) John S.
