Species richness-environment relationships of European arthropods at two spatial grains : habitats and countries [PDF]
, 2012 We study how species richness of arthropods relates to theories concerning net primary productivity, ambient energy, water-energy dynamics and spatial environmental heterogeneity.

Human Appropriated Net Primary Productivity of Complex Mosaic Landscapes
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2019 Quantifying human impact on the environment is increasingly important and particularly so in complex mosaic landscapes. Such landscapes are prolific in the developing world, notably in West African, small holder cocoa farming communities.

Asymmetric warming significantly affects net primary production, but not ecosystem carbon balances of forest and grassland ecosystems in northern China [PDF]
, 2015 We combine the process-based ecosystem model (Biome-BGC) with climate change-scenarios based on both RegCM3 model outputs and historic observed trends to quantify differential effects of symmetric and asymmetric warming on ecosystem net primary ...

Net primary production of forests: a constant fraction of gross primary production? [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 1998 Considerable progress has been made in our ability to model and measure annual gross primary production (GPP) by terrestrial vegetation. But challenges remain in estimating maintenance respiration (R(m)) and net primary production (NPP). To search for possible common relationships, we assembled annual carbon budgets from six evergreen and one deciduous

Crop Yield Estimation in the Canadian Prairies Using Terra/MODIS-Derived Crop Metrics
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2020 We evaluated the utility of Terra/MODIS-derived crop metrics for yield estimation across the Canadian Prairies. This study was undertaken at the Census Agriculture Region (CAR) and the Rural Municipality (RM) of the province of Saskatchewan, in three ...

Above-ground biomass and productivity in a rain forest of eastern South America [PDF]
, 2008 : The dynamics of tropical forest woody plants was studied at the Nouragues Field Station, central French Guiana. Stem density, basal area, above-ground biomass and above-ground net primary productivity, including the contribution of litterfall, were ...

Maps measure net primary production [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2003 New maps of Earth's net primary production are the first consistent and continuous global measurements of the rate that plant life absorbs carbon from the atmosphere, NASA announced on 23 April.The maps incorporate measurements of plant properties collected by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS, with other satellite‐ and ...

Fire intensity impacts on post-fire temperate coniferous forest net primary productivity [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2018 Fire is a dynamic ecological process in forests and impacts the carbon (C) cycle through direct combustion emissions, tree mortality, and by impairing the ability of surviving trees to sequester carbon.

PLoS ONE, 2013 Water use efficiency (WUE) is a key indicator to assess ecosystem adaptation to water stress. Rain use efficiency (RUE) is usually used as a proxy for WUE due to lack of transpiration data.
