Coupled Above- and Belowground Ecosystem Stability Worldwide. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Are the worlds above and below our feet in sync? This global exploration reveals an entangled fate between above‐ and belowground ecosystem stability. It identifies arid regions as hotspots for this coupling and highlights temperature stability as a vital safeguard for maintaining ecosystem balance across our warming planet.

Estimating Net Primary Productivity (NPP) and Debris-Fall in Forests Using Lidar Time Series
Remote Sensing, 2021 Temporal series of lidar, properly field-validated, can provide critical information allowing in-ferences about the dynamics of biomass and carbon in forest canopies. Forest canopies gain carbon through net primary production (NPP) and lose carbon through canopy component damage and death, such as fine and coarse woody debris and litterfall ...

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.

Water, 2023 Hereby, we report the new experimental data of plant biomass and biological productivity (net primary production, NPP) of wetland/peatland plant communities of oligotrophic bogs located on the same latitude, but at a distance of 1300 km west-east in the forest–steppe region of Western Siberia.

Discussion on rapid evaluation method of large-scale land degradation in China [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 This paper discusses the effects of land degradation assessment based on the index of net primary productivity (NPP), rain use efficiency of vegetation (RUE) and relative rain use efficiency of vegetation(rRUE). The results show that the land degradation

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 productivity, upwelling and coastal currents in the Gulf of Ulloa, Baja California, México [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2012 The Gulf of Ulloa, a highly productive area off the western coast of the Baja California Peninsula, is examined for five successive years (2003–2007) by using satellite data and seasonal net primary productivity (NPP) estimates obtained from a vertical ...

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
