Detecting drought-induced GPP spatiotemporal variabilities with sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence during the 2009/2010 droughts in China

In the parallel with the climate change, droughts have become one of the major climate extremes that induce losses in the terrestrial gross primary production (GPP). However, studying of the drought effects on GPP is still challenging, partly due to the lack of direct observations of GPP at large sc...
