The weakened fitting performance may result from the lower magnitude of SIF and consequently higher impact of noise in GRA and SHR relative to more productive biomes. However, both shrubland (SHR) and grassland (GRA) under-predicted high values and overpredicted low values, although the mean value was well predicted (Figure S4). The regression slopes were close to one for these biomes as well as needleleaf forests (NF) and evergreen broadleaf forests (EBF).

This study developed a novel high-resolution time series of spatially contiguous SIF for the globe, leveraging NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 measurements.

These limitations impede the full capability of SIF for improving our understanding of dynamics of photosynthesis and its response to environmental changes (particularly in heterogeneous landscapes) to better support carbon source/sink attribution and verification. However, existing satellite SIF records are restricted to low spatial resolutions, sparse data acquisition, or both. Newly available observations of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) from satellite sensors represent a major step toward quantifying photosynthesis globally in real time. Oco2_005 to detect drought would be diminished. Oco2_005 of needleleaf forests would be overestimated during autumn, and (3) the capability of Oco2_005 of croplands, deciduous temperate, and needleleaf forests would be underestimated during the peak season, (2) Further, without time and biome stratification, (1)


Oco2_005 with Chlorophyll Fluorescence Imaging Spectrometer airborne measurements revealed striking consistency ( R 2 = 0.72 regression slope = 0.96).

Oco2_005 accurately preserved the spatiotemporal variations of

This was achieved by stratifying biomes and times for training and predictions, which accounts for varying plant physiological properties in space and time. Oco2_005) using machine learning constrained by physiological understandings. This study developed a spatially contiguous global OCO-2 SIF product at 0.05° and 16-day resolutions ( Oco2_orbit), but its discontinuous spatial coverage precludes its full potential for understanding the mechanistic SIF-photosynthesis relationship. The Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) collects solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) at high spatial resolution along orbits (
