GPP and C allocation at high precip #70

Closed teixeirak closed 4 years ago

teixeirak commented 4 years ago

@beckybanbury, there seems to be a difference between GPP and other fluxes at higher precipitation (Figs. 3, 4b), but the only allocation ratio we consider is GPP:NPP. It would be interesting to consider some others. Could it be high precip--> lower soil fertility--> lower CUE (see Doughty et al. 2018).

On a similar theme, it could be good to look at ANPP_foliage: BNPP, which would allow better engagement with Chen et al. 2019 (doi: 10.1111/ele.13193).

ratio_grid_plots_1 @teixeirak here are plots for GPP against most other fluxes - only GPP:R auto is significant for MAP, but we don't have a lot of points for GPP against the fluxes which is probably limiting the analysis.

Thanks! Before we finalize this, could you please look into issue #73 (affects this one)?

I don't think this adds very much to the story, although it's probably interesting to show since we have it available.

If it's easy to do so, could you please make GPP as the denominator in these plots? It's easier to think of these as fractional allocation.

On second thought, there's not really enough data here to make it worth presenting. Let's just drop it.
