Functional homogenization of terrestrial mammals outside protected areas in the Hengduan Mountains, China

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Dataset of the net primary production on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau using a soil water content improved Biome-BGC model

Data in Brief, 2019
The Biome-BGC (biome biogeochemical cycles) model is widely used for modeling the net primary productivity (NPP) of ecosystems. However, this model ignores soil water changes during the freeze-thaw process in permafrost regions, which may lead to ...

New Global MuSyQ GPP/NPP Remote Sensing Products From 1981 to 2018

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021
Long time series of vegetation productivity products are significant for the research of global carbon cycle and climate change. In this article, the 0.05° global gross primary productivity (GPP) and net primary productivity (NPP) products from ...

Prioritising Carbon Sequestration Areas in Southern Queensland using Time Series MODIS Net Primary Productivity (NPP) Imagery [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2014
Abstract. The aim of this study was to develop a method that will use satellite imagery to identify areas of high forest growth and productivity, as a primary input in prioritising revegetation sites for carbon sequestration. Using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite data, this study analysed the annual net primary ...

Photosynthetic primary production in the Mesoproterozoic

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The Mesoproterozoic atmosphere had more CO2 and less O2 than at present. While the upper ocean was oxygenated, the deeper ocean was euxinic or ferruginous. Primary production was performed by Chlorobia, Cyanobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Archaeplastida.

Drivers of inter-year variability of plant production and decomposers across contrasting island ecosystems [PDF]

, 2012
Despite the likely importance of inter-year dynamics of plant production and consumer biota for driving community- and ecosystem-level processes, very few studies have explored how and why these dynamics vary across contrasting ecosystems.

Bioturbating bivalves show potential to bioremediate degraded soft sediments by restoring ecosystem function

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Natural recovery of disturbed marine ecosystems can take years, mainly because long‐lived, functionally important species are lost. To regain ecosystem services, the focus of estuarine restoration is shifting from biodiversity metrics to functional restoration.

Photorespiration as a Thermal Protection Mechanism in Trees: Measurements, Assumptions, and Persistent Gaps

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Conceptual framework linking leaf‐level photorespiratory biochemistry to global‐scale uncertainty in carbon cycle modelling. Rubisco acts as a temperature‐sensitive biochemical switch: At optimal temperatures (~25°C) carboxylation dominates and drives biomass accumulation, whereas heat stress (> 35°C) favours oxygenation and initiates photorespiration (

Generation of High Resolution Vegetation Productivity from a Downscaling Method

Remote Sensing, 2018
Accurately estimating vegetation productivity is important in the research of terrestrial ecosystems, carbon cycles and climate change. Although several gross primary production (GPP) and net primary production (NPP) products have been generated and many
