“…Thus, to accommodate light inhibition of R foliage , daytime R foliage was calculated as 67% of night time R foliage according to previous studies (Malhi et al, 2009(Malhi et al, , 2014da Costa et al, 2013;Doughty et al, 2013). Annual R foliage at the ecosystem scale (annual-R foliage , MgC ha −1 year −1 ) was estimated assuming 12 h of daytime and nighttime and a constant temperature of 25 • C each day throughout the year, and the error in annual R foliage represents spatial variation according to a previous study (Metcalfe et al, 2010). ANPP (6.76 ± 0.57 MgC ha −1 year −1 ) and TBCF (19.63 ± 6.37 MgC ha −1 year −1 ) were previously estimated in this study site (Katayama et al, 2013).…”
