GPP and NPP for Africa. (a) mean GPP (black) and NPP (grey) from MOD17 and from the LPJ-GUESS model (average for the period 2000–2010), and mean NPPCombined. Error bars illustrate ± standard deviation. GPP and NPP differ significantly (LPJ-GUESS vs MOD17, t-test, p < 0.01), (b) Annual (2000–2010) MOD17 and LPJ-GUESS GPP [Pg C] and (c) NPP [Pg C], the open circle in b and c denote year 2005.
