Exploring Simple Algorithms for Estimating Gross Primary Production in Forested Areas from Satellite Data

Algorithms that use remotely-sensed vegetation indices to estimate gross primary production (GPP), a key component of the global carbon cycle, have gained a lot of popularity in the past decade. Yet despite the amount of research on the topic, the most appropriate approach is still under debate. As...
