a With colours indicating monthly mean fAPAR from MODIS (MCD15A3H v6.1); b compared to the (multi-)annual values from Fig. 1 (rescaled to units of gC m-2 month−1). Blue broken line: Theoretical maximum if all absorbed PAR energy (of an assumed 100 W m-2) was used for CO2 sequestration; Grey broken line: Theoretical maximum to annual effective values if monthly averages could be freely combined under constant SWin.
