Warming of alpine tundra enhances belowground production and shifts community towards resource acquisition traits

Ecosphere, 2020
Climate warming is expected to stimulate plant growth in high‐elevation and high‐latitude ecosystems, significantly increasing aboveground net primary production (ANPP).

High potential for weathering and climate effects of non-vascular vegetation in the Late Ordovician [PDF]

, 2016
It has been hypothesized that predecessors of today’s bryophytes significantly increased global chemical weathering in the Late Ordovician, thus reducing atmospheric CO2 concentration and contributing to climate cooling and an interval of glaciations ...

Climate sensitivity of global terrestrial net primary production (NPP) calculated using the reduced-form model NNN [PDF]

Climate Research, 2002
In order to assess the potential impact of climate change on terrestrial equilibrium net pri- mary production (NPP), information about the sensitivity of terrestrial NPP to climate change is needed. A novel approach to the definition of climate sensitivity is introduced; it does not depend on specific (and uncertain) scenarios, but rather describes the

Carbon Stock and Environmental Variations of Typical Plantations in Mufu Mountain in Hubei Province, China

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 3715-3725, 30 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystems play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. As a significant terrestrial carbon sink, plantations exhibit carbon stock patterns that are shaped by tree species composition, stand structure, and environmental conditions. Here, we investigated typical plantation types in the Mufu Mountain, Hubei Province.

Quantifying the Impacts of Anthropogenic Activities and Climate Variations on Vegetation Productivity Changes in China from 1985 to 2015

Remote Sensing, 2020
Accurate assessment of vegetation dynamics provides important information for ecosystem management. Anthropogenic activities and climate variations are the major factors that primarily influence vegetation ecosystems.

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.

The effect of climate on the net primary productivity (NPP) of Pinus koraiensis in the Changbai Mountains over the past 50 years [PDF]

Trees, 2015
The net primary productivity (NPP) of Pinus koraiensis , estimated from tree-ring widths, has a significant correlation with the minimum temperature in April and the summer precipitation over the past 50 years.

Gender and Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN): Evaluating Nigeria's Legislative Framework for Achieving Gender‐Equitable LDN Outcomes

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 4016-4043, 30 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Legislative frameworks that support gender equality are crucial for addressing structural inequalities, protecting women's rights, and achieving gender‐equitable land degradation neutrality (LDN) outcomes. This study examines the extent to which national‐level policies and legislation governing LDN and related sectors incorporate gender ...

Satellite-derived increases in net primary productivity across North America, 1982-1998 [PDF]

, 2002
We used a new 17‐year, high spatial resolution satellite record and a carbon cycle model to explore how changing net primary productivity (NPP) contributed to a proposed carbon (C) sink in North America.

Sources of Uncertainty in Ocean Net Primary Productivity Projections Under Climate Change

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract The divergent representation of ocean net primary productivity (NPP) in Earth system models (ESMs) causes uncertainty in NPP projections, which must be reduced to effectively inform marine management and climate mitigation strategies. Here, we investigate the sources of uncertainty in monthly‐mean NPP by seven ESMs under four emissions ...
