Global Trend in Plant Growth Over Time

Gross Primary Productivity Trend - LIS 10km Global DA
biosphere NASA VEDA COG
In plain English

What it measures. Maps the long-term trend in plant productivity worldwide, showing where plant growth and carbon uptake are rising or falling.

How it's made. Calculated from NASA's Land Information System model output using a robust statistical trend method.

How & where you'd use it. Reveals regions where vegetation is greening or declining, informing climate and land-use studies.
