Species richness-environment relationships of European arthropods at two spatial grains : habitats and countries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We study how species richness of arthropods relates to theories concerning net primary productivity, ambient energy, water-energy dynamics and spatial environmental heterogeneity.

The net primary productivity of Mid-Jurassic peatland and its control factors: Evidenced by the Ordos Basin

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2018
Using the large-scale thick 4# coal seam from the Mid-Jurassic in the southern Ordos Basin as an example, this paper studied the net primary productivity (NPP) level of the Mid-Jurassic peatland, and discussed its control factors.

Mapping human impact on Net Primary Productivity using MODIS data for better policy making [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Tropical forests support core biological, hydrological and socioeconomic functions essential to life on earth. An assessment based on the Human Appropriation of Net Primary Production (HANPP) could help reduce exploitation of these forests, increasing ...

Assessing the comparative productivity advantage of bioenergy feedstocks at different latitudes

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2012
We evaluate the comparative productivity of maize and sugarcane biofuel feedstocks as a function of latitude. Solar radiation for photosynthesis varies by latitude and contributes to differential productivity of tropical and temperate zones. We calculate

The dry season intensity as a key driver of NPP trends [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We analyze the impacts of changing dry season length and intensity on vegetation productivity and biomass. Our results show a wetness asymmetry in dry ecosystems, with dry seasons becoming drier and wet seasons becoming wetter, likely caused by climate ...

Biomass and Net Primary Productivity in Three Different Aged Butea Forest Ecosystems in Western India, Rajasthan [PDF]

open access: yesIranica Journal of Energy and Environment, 2011
The study was conducted to estimate the biomass and net primary productivity of different age grouped (5, 10 and 15-year-old) Butea monosperma forest ecosystems in western India , Rajasthan (located between 23º49′ to 25º28′ N latitudes and 73º0′ to 75º49′

Variations of Terrestrial Net Primary Productivity in East Asia

open access: yesTerrestrial, 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.

Natural Vegetation Succession Under Climate Change and the Combined Effects on Net Primary Productivity

open access: yesEarth's Future, 2023
Climate change and the resulting natural vegetation succession can alter vegetation productivity. However, the mechanisms underlying future productivity changes under the two influences remain unclear.

Assessment of Drought Impact on Net Primary Productivity in the Terrestrial Ecosystems of Mongolia from 2003 to 2018

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Drought has devastating impacts on agriculture and other ecosystems, and its occurrence is expected to increase in the future. However, its spatiotemporal impacts on net primary productivity (NPP) in Mongolia have remained uncertain.
