Improvement of Ecological Footprint Model in National Nature Reserve Based on Net Primary Production (NPP) [PDF]

Sustainability, 2018
An increasing number of nature reserves are being invaded by various development and construction activities, such as energy, resources, and transportation facilities. The ecological footprint model, which enables a quantitative assessment of ecological sustainability, can assess whether human consumption at various spatial scales falls within the ...

Water use efficiency of China\u27s terrestrial ecosystems and responses to drought [PDF]

, 2015
Water use efficiency (WUE) measures the trade-off between carbon gain and water loss of terrestrial ecosystems, and better understanding its dynamics and controlling factors is essential for predicting ecosystem responses to climate change.

Modeling carbon uptake by vegetation of grassland ecosystems and its associated factors in China based on remote sensing

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
In order to reveal the spatial variation characteristics and influencing factors of grassland net primary productivity (NPP) in China, this paper uses remote sensing data, land use data and meteorological data to simulate and estimate China’s grassland ...

Seasonally and spatially varied controls of climatic factors on net primary productivity in alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) is a core parameter regulating carbon cycles of terrestrial ecosystem, which also has close relations with climates.

Estimating ocean net primary productivity from daily cycles of carbon biomass measured by profiling floats

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2023
The dependence of net primary productivity (NPP), a central metric in ecology and biogeochemistry, on sunlight drives daily cycles in carbon biomass in the ocean's euphotic zone. In this study, we infer NPP from the daily cycle of biomass.

Potential net primary productivity in South America: application of a global model [PDF]

, 1991
We use a mechanistically based ecosystem simulation model to describe and analyze the spatial and temporal patterns of terrestrial net primary productivity (NPP) in South America.

Comparing global models of terrestrial net primary productivity (NPP): analysis of the seasonal atmospheric CO₂ signal [PDF]

Global Change Biology, 1999
SummaryEight terrestrial biospheric models (TBMs) calculating the monthly distributions of both net primary productivity (NPP) and soil heterotrophic respiration (RH) in the Potsdam NPP Model Intercomparison workshop are used to simulate seasonal patterns of atmospheric CO2 concentration.

Asymmetric responses of primary productivity to altered precipitation simulated by ecosystem models across three long-term grassland sites [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2018
Field measurements of aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) in temperate grasslands suggest that both positive and negative asymmetric responses to changes in precipitation (P) may occur.

Estimation of Global Vegetation Productivity from Global LAnd Surface Satellite Data

Remote Sensing, 2018
Accurately estimating vegetation productivity is important in research on terrestrial ecosystems, carbon cycles and climate change. Eight-day gross primary production (GPP) and annual net primary production (NPP) are contained in MODerate Resolution ...

Tree-ring isotopes capture interannual vegetation productivity dynamics at the biome scale

Nature Communications, 2019
Historical and future trends in net primary productivity (NPP) and its sensitivity to global change are largely unknown because of the lack of long-term, high-resolution data.
