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.

Microbenthic Net Metabolism Along Intertidal Gradients (Cadiz Bay, SW Spain): Spatio-Temporal Patterns and Environmental Factors [PDF]
, 2020 Microphytobenthos (MPB), the photosynthetic primary producing component of microbenthos, shows variable patterns in its biomass distribution along the intertidal gradient as a result of the interactions of factors such as light, tides, temperature ...

Variations of Terrestrial Net Primary Productivity in East Asia
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2012 Due to the heterogeneity and complexity of terrestrial ecosystems of East Asia, a better understanding of relationships between climate change and net primary productivity (NPP) distribution is important to predict future carbon dynamics.

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.

Interactions between carbon and nitrogen dynamics in estimating net primary productivity for potential vegetation in North America [PDF]
, 1992 We use the terrestrial ecosystem model (TEM), a process-based model, to investigate how interactions between carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics affect predictions of net primary productivity (NPP) for potential vegetation in North America. Data on pool

Impact of icebergs on net primary productivity in the Southern Ocean [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Productivity in the Southern Ocean (SO) is iron-limited, and supply of iron dissolved from aeolian dust is believed to be the main source from outside the marine environment. However, recent studies show that icebergs could provide a comparable amount of

Dynamics of Vegetation Net Primary Productivity and Its Response to Drought in the Mongolian Plateau
Atmosphere, 2021 Vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) is an important aspect of the global carbon cycle, and its change is closely related to climate change. This study analyzed the spatial-temporal variation of the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration ...

Spatio-temporal patterns and dynamics of net primary productivity for Kazakhstan [PDF]
, 2013 Monitoring of net primary productivity (NPP) is especially important for the fragile ecosystems in arid and semi-arid regions. Great interest exists in observing large-scale vegetation dynamics and understanding spatial and temporal patterns of NPP in ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.
