Extended Data Fig. 1: The contrasting patterns between the Corn Belt (upper circle) and Amazon rainforest (lower circle) in August during 2001–2019 at global maps.
From: Structural complexity biases vegetation greenness measures
The same as in Fig. 1, the MODIS EVI, NIRv and fesc were smaller over the Amazon rainforest than over the Corn Belt, while the MODIS LAI shows the opposite pattern. This effect is also found in the cropland in Northeast Asia, the rainforest in Southeast Asia, and the eastern forest region in North America near the Corn Belt with the same season and similar latitude.
