Tropical forests are not all the same: they show many shades of geographical variation. Our new paper in Nature led by @jeaggu.bsky.social combines field and satellite data to make a first map the canopy functional traits of the world’s tropical forests: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is my favourite chapter of PhD. It joins the photosynthesis traits dataset (Asat) with biometric GPP dataset using a photosynthesis model! Sorry this is my first post on Bluesky (just left X) and not sure how to write # and @. But the professor said: at least used the magic emoji πŸ§ͺπŸ§ͺπŸ§ͺ

Why models underestimate West African tropical forest primary productivity - Nature Communications This study finds that vegetation models commonly underestimate the productivity of West African forests, owing to bias in fractional absorbed photosynthetic radiation (fAPAR) and leaf level photosynth...

West African tropical forest have the highest productivity we have yet observed anywhere in the tropics, yet both models commonly fail to capture this productivity. In this new paper on Nature Communications we explain why… ⁦⁦⁦⁦⁦ www.nature.com/articles/s41...
