The MUltiscale Satellite remotE Sensing (MUSES) global vegetation productivity dataset includes gross primary productivity (GPP) and net primary productivity (NPP) data from 1981 to 2018. GPP and NPP were estimated with a light use efficiency (LUE) model and MUSES leaf area index (LAI) and fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR) products. The MUSES product suite includes products with different spatial and temporal resolutions for parameters such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Near-Infrared Reflectance of Vegetation (NIRv), Leaf Area Index (LAI), Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR), Fractional Vegetation Coverage (FVC), Gross Primary Production (GPP), Net Primary Production (NPP). For more information about the MUSES products, please refer to this website (https://muses.bnu.edu.cn/).
