Relationship of Productivity to Species Richness in the Xinjiang Temperate Grassland.

PLoS ONE, 2016
The relationship between species richness (SR) and aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) is still a central and debated issue in community ecology.

Assessing precipitation, evapotranspiration, and NDVI as controls of U.S. Great Plains plant production

Ecosphere, 2019
Productivity throughout the North American Great Plains grasslands is generally considered to be water limited, with the strength of this limitation increasing as precipitation decreases.

Global evidence on nitrogen saturation of terrestrial ecosystem net primary productivity

Environmental Research Letters, 2016
The continually increasing nitrogen (N) deposition is expected to increase ecosystem aboveground net primary production (ANPP) until it exceeds plant N demand, causing a nonlinear response and N saturation for ANPP.

An increase in livestock density increases forage nutritional value but decreases net primary production and annual forage nutritional yield in the alpine grassland of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Pasture biomass and quality are dependent on herbivore grazing and precipitation, but the responses of vegetation to the interactive effects of climate and grazing regimes remain unclear.

Trends of Aboveground Net Primary Productivity of Patagonian Meadows, the Omitted Ecosystem in Desertification Studies

Remote Sensing, 2023
The United Nations defines desertification as the loss of productivity in arid and semiarid environments. The extended steppes of Patagonia harbor small meadows whose compounded area is comparatively small, but their aboveground net primary production ...

Space-time quantification of aboveground net primary productivity service supply capacity in high Andean bofedales using remote sensors [PDF]

Journal of Water and Land Development, 2023
The aboveground net primary productivity ( ANPP) of bofedales is one of the most important indicators for the provision of ecosystem services in the high Andean areas. In the case of bofedales, the evaluation of the ANPP supply capacity as a service on a

Assessing vegetation structure and ANPP dynamics in a grassland–shrubland Chihuahuan ecotone using NDVI–rainfall relationships [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2015
Abstract. Climate change and the widespread alteration of natural habitats are major drivers of vegetation change in drylands. In the Chihuahuan Desert, large areas of grasslands dominated by perennial grass species have transitioned over the last 150 years to shrublands dominated by woody species, accompanied by accelerated water and wind erosion ...
