The 2010 spring drought reduced primary productivity in southwestern China [PDF]

, 2012
Many parts of the world experience frequent and severe droughts. Summer drought can significantly reduce primary productivity and carbon sequestration capacity. The impacts of spring droughts, however, have received much less attention.

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 ...

Prediction of High-Quality MODIS-NPP Product Data

Remote Sensing, 2019
Net primary productivity (NPP) is a key vegetation parameter and ecological indicator for tracking natural environmental change. High-quality Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Net primary productivity (MODIS-NPP) products are critical for ...

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

International 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.

Ozone and haze pollution weakens net primary productivity in China [PDF]

, 2017
Atmospheric pollutants have both beneficial and detrimental effects on carbon uptake by land ecosystems. Surface ozone (O3) damages leaf photosynthesis by oxidizing plant cells, while aerosols promote carbon uptake by increasing diffuse radiation and ...

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

, 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

Environmental 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

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.
