This synthesis benefits directly from different sources of dataset, including the forest flux database (Luyssaert et al. 2007), BAAD (Falster et al. 2015), ForC‐db (https://github.com/forc-db), dataset of Malhi et al. (2011) and Litton et al. (2007). We are grateful to all these authors, site investigators and their funding agencies contributing to these dataset. We thank the various regional flux networks (Afriflux, AmeriFlux, AsiaFlux, CarboAfrica, CarboEurope‐IP, ChinaFlux, Fluxnet‐Canada, KoFlux, LBA, NECC, OzFlux, TCOS‐Siberia, USCCC), and the Fluxnet project, for support in obtaining these measurements. We also thank two reviewers for their valuable comments on an earlier version of this paper.
