Light use efficiency (LUE) based bimonthly gross primary productivity (GPP) for global grasslands at 30 m spatial resolution (2000–2022)

"Isik et al. have produced high-resolution (30 m), long-term (2000-2022), bimonthly global maps of gross primary productivity (GPP) for grasslands, one of the world's most important ecosystems and crucial in agriculture for grazing. The data are shared publicly with a permissive open license (CC-BY). They are likely to be useful research in areas including the monitoring of land degradation, crop yield mapping and improved modeling of greenhouse gas fluxes. As such, the data are likely to be useful to researchers in many different disciplines."
