Land-use links soil health and microbial functional traits to ecosystem productivity

Ecological Indicators
Soil health underpins ecosystem functioning, yet its overarching role in underlying net primary productivity (NPP) across contrasting land-use types remains insufficiently quantified.

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.

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.

Nitrogen controls the net primary production of an alpine Kobresia meadow in the northern Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Net primary production (NPP) is a fundamental property of natural ecosystems. Understanding the temporal variations of NPP could provide new insights into the responses of communities to environmental factors.

Net primary productivity of forest stands in New Hampshire estimated from Landsat and MODIS satellite data

Carbon Balance and Management, 2007
Background A simulation model that relies on satellite observations of vegetation cover from the Landsat 7 sensor and from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) was used to estimate net primary productivity (NPP) of forest stands at ...

Assessing the accuracy and stability of variable importance in species distribution modelling algorithms through sample perturbations

Ecography, EarlyView.
Variable importance derived from species distribution modelling (SDM) is widely used to identify key environmental drivers of species distributions. However, the reliability of these inferences has rarely been systematically evaluated, particularly with respect to their sensitivity to individual occurrences.

Biometric-Based Net Primary Production (NPP) and the Effects of a Masting Event on Production Allocation in a Secondary Lucidophyllous Forest in Central Japan

Forests, 2023
Lucidophyllous (evergreen broad-leaved) forests are the dominant forests in human-dominated subtropical/warm-temperate regions in East Asia. Biometric-based estimates of net primary production (NPP) were conducted in a secondary lucidophyllous forest on Mt.

Contrasting spatial variations between above and below-ground net primary productivity in global grasslands

Ecological Indicators
Grassland net primary productivity (NPP) plays a crucial role in global terrestrial carbon cycle and carbon balance. However, the spatial pattern and influencing factors of NPP and its components, especially the belowground net primary productivity (BNPP)
