Determining the drivers of aboveground net primary production (ANPP), a key ecosystem process, is an important goal of ecosystem ecology. However, accurate estimation of ANPP across larger areas remains challenging, especially for savanna ecosystems that

Grazing intensity drives above–belowground productivity trade-offs and reveals belowground dominance in temperate herbaceous marsh wetlands [PDF]
IntroductionLivestock grazing, as a major anthropogenic disturbance, significantly affects plant species diversity and net primary productivity (NPP) in wetland ecosystems and their relationships with soil properties.

Regional-Scale High Spatial Resolution Mapping of Aboveground Net Primary Productivity (ANPP) From Field Survey and Landsat Data: A Case Study for the Country of Wales [PDF]
This paper presents an alternative approach for high spatial resolution vegetation productivity mapping at a regional scale, using a combination of Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) imagery and widely distributed ground-based Above-ground Net Primary Production (ANPP) estimates.

Drought intensity shifts the roles of dominant species traits and species diversity on productivity resistance in arid grasslands [PDF]
The intensification of drought under climate change impairs the productivity and stability of grassland ecosystems. Yet, how the mechanisms regulating aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) resistance of arid grasslands across drought gradients ...
