- Method / resource Predicted isoprene fluxes agreed among canopy models within about 20%.
- Method / resource Models overestimated mean observed flux by about twofold.
- Method / resource Models overestimated maximum observed flux by 30 to 50%.
- Method / resource Reducing the emission factor and biomass density by 20% gave predicted means about 20% above observations.
- Method / resource That adjustment gave predicted maxima about 25% below observations.
