A comparison of relative pollen productivity from forest steppe, typical steppe and desert steppe in Inner Mongolia [PDF]
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2016 Relative pollen productivity (RPP) is the ratio of the absolute pollen productivity of a certain pollen taxon to the pollen reference taxon. It is an important parameter that can be used for quantitative reconstruction of paleovegetation at a landscape scale.

Does β diversity predict ecosystem productivity better than species diversity?
Ecological Indicators, 2021 There is consensus that greater biodiversity is essential to maintain the ecosystem function and stability. Variation in spatial plant community heterogeneity (β diversity) affects productivity and ecosystems function; however, relatively few studies ...
