Variability in the Net Ecosystem Productivity (NEP) of Seaweed Farms
The important role of vegetated ecosystems in the sequestration of carbon has gained strong interest across a wide variety of disciplines. With evidence growing of the potential for macroalgae ecosystems to capture carbon, there is burgeoning interest in applying newfound knowledge of carbon capture rates to better understand the potential for carbon ...

Simulating Net Ecosystem Productivity (NEP) in Mediterranean Pine Forests (Pinus brutia) During the 21st Century: The Effect of Leaf Area Index and Elevation [PDF]
The Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) of Mediterranean forest is expected to change over the 21st century due to the warmer and drier conditions. In this study, we present a process-based forest carbon-flux model, where stand structure and soil heterotrophic respiration have been parameterized with long-term monitoring data in a Mediterranean Pinus ...

Time-lag effects of NEP and NPP to meteorological factors in the source regions of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers [PDF]
Vegetation productivity and ecosystem carbon sink capacity are significantly influenced by seasonal weather patterns. The time lags between changes in these patterns and ecosystem (including vegetation) responses is a critical aspect in vegetation ...

Elevation-dependent pattern of net CO2 uptake across China [PDF]
The elevation gradient has long been known to be vital in shaping the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems, but little is known about the elevation-dependent pattern of net CO2 uptake, denoted by net ecosystem productivity (NEP).

Human interventions have enhanced the net ecosystem productivity of farmland in China [PDF]
Human interventions, such as farmland management, have long been considered crucial for soil carbon sequestration, but little is known about the exact impact of these interventions on the net carbon flux, represented by net ecosystem productivity (NEP ...

Quantifying the effect of forest age in annual net forest carbon balance [PDF]
Forests dominate carbon (C) exchanges between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere on land. In the long term, the net carbon flux between forests and the atmosphere has been significantly impacted by changes in forest cover area and structure due

Plant Biomass Allocation-Regulated Nitrogen and Phosphorus Addition Effects on Ecosystem Carbon Fluxes of a Lucerne (Medicago sativa ssp. sativa) Plantation in the Loess Plateau [PDF]
Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are key limiting factors for carbon (C) fluxes in artificial grasslands. The impact of their management on ecosystem C fluxes, including net ecosystem productivity (NEP), ecosystem respiration (ER), and gross ecosystem ...

Non-linear responses of net ecosystem productivity to gradient warming in a paddy field in Northeast China [PDF]
Global warming has a known impact on ecosystems but there is a lack of understanding about its impact on ecosystem processes. Net ecosystem productivity (NEP) and its components play a key part in the global carbon cycle.
