Changes in surface hydrology, soil moisture and gross primary production in the Amazon during the 2015/2016 El Niño

The 2015/2016 El Niño event caused severe changes in precipitation across the tropics. This impacted surface hydrology, such as river run-off and soil moisture availability, thereby triggering reductions in gross primary production (GPP).
