Spatial pattern of climate controls on leaf growing season initiation in South American tropical forests.

<p>Locations of the sites with monthly litterfall productivity measurements are indicated by blue numbers.</p

Seasonal leaf production (EVI increase) and associated litterfall productivity in 16 tropical forest sites.

Description of the study sites for litterfall measurements, adapted from [25].

<p>For each site, reference of the articles, country, full site name and geographical coordinates (longitude and latitude in decimal degrees) are reported. The next columns reports the type of measurements, only leaf fall (YES) or total litterfall (NO), the number of traps, the trap size, the total area sampled, the mean litterfall productivity in Mg.ha⁻¹.year⁻¹ and the duration.</p
