Impact Assessment of the M_s7.0 Earthquake on Jiuzhaigou Valley from the Perspective of Vegetation Net Primary Productivity

Sensors, 2022
In order to assess the impact of the Ms7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake that occurred on 8 August 2017 on vegetation, the Carnegie-Ames-Stanford Approach (CASA) model was adopted to estimate the vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) of Jiuzhaigou Valley ...

S-NPP VIIRS thermal emissive bands on-orbit calibration and performance [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2014
Presented is an assessment of the on-orbit radiometric performance of the thermal emissive bands (TEB) of the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument based on data from the first 2 years of operations—from 20 January 2012 to 20 January 2014.

Variations of Terrestrial Net Primary Productivity in East Asia

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2012
Due to the heterogeneity and complexity of terrestrial ecosystems of East Asia, a better understanding of relationships between climate change and net primary productivity (NPP) distribution is important to predict future carbon dynamics.

Impacts of Land Use Changes on Net Primary Productivity in Urban Agglomerations under Multi-Scenarios Simulation

Remote Sensing, 2022
Land use is closely related to the sustainability of ecological development. This paper employed a patch-generating land use simulation (PLUS) model for the multi-scenario simulation of urban agglomerations.

Drivers and uncertainties of future global marine primary production in marine ecosystem models [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2015
Past model studies have projected a global decrease in marine net primary production (NPP) over the 21st century, but these studies focused on the multi-model mean rather than on the large inter-model differences. Here, we analyze model-simulated changes

Species Richness Net Primary Productivity and the Water Balance Problem

Entropy
Species energy theory suggests that, because of limitations on reproduction efficiency, a minimum density of plant individuals per viable species exists and that this minimum correlates the total number of plant individuals N with the number of species S.

Stereochemical investigations on the biosynthesis of achiral (Z)-γ-bisabolene in Cryptosporangium arvum

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2019
A newly identified bacterial (Z)-γ-bisabolene synthase was used for investigating the cyclisation mechanism of the sesquiterpene. Since the stereoinformation of both chiral putative intermediates, nerolidyl diphosphate (NPP) and the bisabolyl cation, is ...

Temporal Variability in Net Primary Production in an Upwelling Area off Central Chile (36°S)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
The temporal variability of Net Primary Production (NPP) off central Chile (36°S, 73°W), an area subjected to seasonal coastal upwelling, was analyzed using monthly in situ13C incubations within the photic zone, along with bio-oceanographic variables ...

A Multi-Perspective Assessment Method with a Dynamic Benchmark for Human Activity Impacts on Alpine Ecosystem under Climate Change

Remote Sensing, 2022
Intense human activities and rapid climate changes both have obvious impacts on alpine ecosystems. However, the magnitudes and directions of the impacts by these two drivers remain uncertain due to a lack of a reasonable assessment method to distinguish ...

Analysis of the heat sources detected by MODIS and VIIRS satellites in central western Amazonia

Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2020
Forest fires are characterized as environmental disasters and depending on its gravity they destroy the entire forests causing ecosystem losses. The quality of the detection of heat sources in the satellite is relevant to verify the sources of fires and
