DESCRIPTION:

The data derived using the flux tower estimation of optimum LUE
and interpolated over spatial scales using a statistical approach
by using landscape characteristic defined by plant plant trait information,
SIF, and topography.
GPP is modeled using LUEopt data, GIMMS FPAR and MERRA2 meteorology

DETAILS

optimum LUE in gC/MJ; GeoTiff files in geographic projections
GPP netcdf files gC/m2/day
