./rasters/:



./main/: main rasters resulting from harmonic regressions and asynchrony calculations, including:



*_coeffs.tif: harmonic regression coefficients (5 coefficient bands: intercept, sine and cosine of annual cyclical time in radians, then sine and cosine of semiannual cyclical time in radians) (global, 0.05 degree, EPSG:4326)

*_asynch_*km.tif: asynchrony results (including maps in Fig. 2A and Extended Data Fig. 7B) for all three neighborhood radii (50, 100, and 150 km) (each raster has 4 bands: asynchrony value, then R^2 value, P-value, and n of the OLS regression from which the asynchrony value (i.e., slope) was derived) (NOTE: the *_STRICT* qualifier in *NIRv_STRICT* and *SIF_STRICT* indicates the additional land cover filtering that masked all agricultural land before calculating LSP asynchrony) (global, 0.05 degree, EPSG:4326)



  ./masks/: data for all 5 masking maps presented in Extended Data Fig. 1B (lcMask_DEFAULT.tif includes only the red masked areas in the land cover map in the figure, whereas lcMask_STRICT.tif includes also the black masked (agricultural) areas) (global, 0.05 degree, EPSG:4326)

./drivers/: rasters specific to the LSP asynchrony drivers analysis, including:



hansen_lulcc_pct_neigh_mean.tif: neighborhood (100 km radius) mean of land use and cover change, derived from GLAD Lab Hansen et al. 2019 global harmonized land use and land cover change (global, 0.05 degree, EPSG:4326)

err_map_*COORDS_*_*km.tif: mapped prediction errors from all LSP asynchrony drivers models ('yCOORDS' or 'nCOORDS' = whether geographic coordinates were included or excluded as covariates; 'NIRv' of 'SIF' = whether NIRv- or SIF-based LSP asynchrony was modeled; '50km','100km', or '150km' = whether a 50, 100, or 150 km neighborhood radius was used) (global, 0.05 degree, EPSG:4326)

SHAP_map_*COORDS_*_*_*km.tif: maps of SHAP values for all 11 covariates (if 'yCOORDS', in which case longitude ('x') and latitude ('y') are included as covariates) or 9 covariates (if 'nCOORDS') for all LSP asynchrony drivers models ('NIRv' of 'SIF' = NIRv- or SIF-based LSP asynchrony; '50km','100km', or '150km' = 50, 100, 150 km neighborhood radius used) (global, 0.05 degree, EPSG:4326)

SHAP_predom_top.tif: map of normalized-difference of SHAP values of the top two LSP asynchrony drivers from the main (NIRv-based, 100 km neighborhood, with geographic coordinates included) drivers model (asynchrony of minimum temperature and precipitation seasonality) (plotted in Fig. 2B) (global, 0.05 degree, EPSG:4326)

SHAP_predom_all.tif: map of the index of the predominant driver of LSP asynchrony at each pixel, according to SHAP values for the main (NIRv-based, 100 km neighborhood, with geographic coordinates included) model (0: ppt.asy, 1: tmp.min.asy, 2: brn.frq.mea, 3: tmp.max.masy, 4: def.asy, 5: cld.asy, 6: veg.ent, 7: vrm.med, 8: luc.pct.mea) (plotted in Extended Data Fig. 9C) (global, 0.05 degree, EPSG:4326)



./etc/: other rasters generated as part of analysis, including:



NIRv_4_EOFs_sqrt_coswts_standts.tif: 4 EOFs calculated from the global map of fitted annual average NIRv LSP phenocycles (calculated using square-root-cosine weighting on latitude and using standardized phenocycle time series) (global, 0.05 degree,EPSG:4326)

NIRv_4_EOFs_sqrt_coswts_standts.tif: the same EOFs as the previously listed filed, but transformed for RGB visual display in Fig. 1 (scaled to the [0, 1] interval, 'folded' over the ITCZ using a latitudinally varying weighted sum of EOF and 1-EOF, and reprojected to the Greenwich-centered Equal Earth projection) (global, EPSG:8857)
