Net primary productivity mapped for Canada at 1‐km resolution

Abstract Aim To map net primary productivity (NPP) over the Canadian landmass at 1‐km resolution. Location Canada. Methods A simulation model, the Boreal Ecosystem Productivity Simulator (BEPS), has been developed. The model uses a sunlit and shaded leaf separation strategy and a daily integration scheme in order to implement an instantaneous leaf‐level photosynthesis model over large areas. Two key driving variables, leaf area index …
