Effects of foliage clumping on the estimation of global terrestrial gross primary productivity
Abstract
Sunlit and shaded leaf separation proposed by Norman (1982) is an effective way to upscale from leaf to canopy in modeling vegetation photosynthesis. The Boreal Ecosystem Productivity Simulator (BEPS) makes use of this methodology, and has been shown to be reliable in modeling the gross primary productivity (GPP) derived from CO 2 flux and tree ring measurements. In this study, we use BEPS to investigate the effect of canopy architecture on the …
