Fig. 1: Annual biophysical sensitivity of land surface temperature to leaf area index \((\frac{{{{{{\boldsymbol{dLS}}}}}}{{{{{{\boldsymbol{T}}}}}}}_{{{{{{\boldsymbol{bio}}}}}}}}{{{{{{\boldsymbol{dLAI}}}}}}})\) over the study period (2001–2018).

a Spatial map of \(\frac{{{dLST}}_{{bio}}}{{dLAI}}\). b Variation in sensitivity means across the climatic bins, in which \(\frac{{{dLST}}_{{bio}}}{{dLAI}}\) is binned as a function of annual precipitation (P, x-axis) and air temperature (Ta, y-axis). c Latitudinal bins of \(\frac{{{dLST}}_{{bio}}}{{dLAI}}\) across different broad vegetation types. The shaded area indicates the latitudinal standard deviation. Source data are provided with this paper.
