Replying to @DaleiHao
A key aspect was the introduction of a new metric, normalized near-infrared vegetation reflectance (NIRvN), which successfully separates the effects of leaf quantity from those of canopy architecture. We also found a strong negative linear correlation between ε_biome and NIRvN.

Together, originating from an idea that there must be some link between canopy structure and function, this study highlights the significance of canopy architecture in controlling global patterns of light use efficiency of carbon uptake.

Risky days for anthropogenic fires are growing faster than risky days for lightning-caused fires. Human-caused fires can occur in wetter conditions, as they ignite in dead grass or wood, rather than in the moist canopy where lightning strikes. Read now: ow.ly/c2X650V290e

We figured out how much water is in all of Earth’s plants and how long it takes water to flow through them. Answer: 786 km3 and 5-18 days. @NatureWaterJnl @koen_hufkens @sciencebyAJ
