Abstract
•Monthly global 0.5° photosynthetic capacity retrieved from remote sensing.•Capacity and LAI zonal trends are large (−6.8% to +2.7% per decade).•Capacity trends depend more on plant functional type than latitude.•Zero trend in global LAI during 2002–2012.•Zero trend contrasts with the hike in NDVI during 1980s for northern latitudes.
