Seasonal leaf dynamics for tropical evergreen forests in a process-based global ecosystem model

The influence of seasonal phenology on canopy photosynthesis in tropical evergreen forests remains poorly understood, and its representation in global ecosystem models is highly simplified, typically with no seasonal variation of canopy leaf properties taken into account. Including seasonal variatio...
