Global leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) product from MODIS imagery (2000-2020)

<p>The spatial and temporal distribution of leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) is critical for understanding the capacity of vegetation photosynthesis. Here, a global 8-day leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) dataset at 500-m resolution was generated from MODIS data using a matrix system with two pairs of vegetation indices.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>The following paper should be cited when using the data:</strong></p> <p>Xu, M., Liu, R., Chen, J.M., Liu, Y., Wolanin, A., Croft, H., He, L., Shang, R., Ju, W., Zhang, Y., He, Y., Wang, R., 2022.
