Led by Fa Li, we published a paper with Global Change Biology for understanding the impacts of vegetation clumping on global photosynthesis.
The spatial organization of vegetation crowns and leaves in vegetation canopy (clumping) and its uncertainty have a big impact on the land surface light environment and photosynthesis, highlighted by our new research. See details at …

New published study points out adjusting solar-induced fluorescence to nadir-viewing provides a better proxy for GPP
Solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) provides key information for inferring terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP). However, there is little research on analyzing the performance of nadir-adjusted SIF (SIFnadir) on GPP, compared to total SIF emitted by all leaves (SIFtotal) for reducing the …

New paper published at Remote Sensing of Environment
In principle, NIR reflectance purely from vegetation (NIRv) is a strong indicator of vegetation absorbed solar radiation and ecosystem primary productivity. The current formula of NIRv with multispectral remote sensing data removes most of the …
