Introduction
This supporting information section provides additional information on our data set validation and statistical results. The first figure details information regarding the energy balance closure (H+LE vs Rn-G) within the area of eddy-covariance tower footprint. The following two figures provide insight into the creation of our neural network model, where we compare the data collected at our site with those provided by CONAGUA to input into our model, and consequently the full of our neural network model and validations. Furthermore, this section provides our statistical analysis on our half hourly data and the residual analysis performed on our daily averaged dataset. Lastly, we include a table with a summary description of other mangrove research studies and their yearly NEE productivity in comparison with our study.
