A Continuous Satellite-Derived Measure of Global Terrestrial Primary Production

A new satellite-driven monitor of the global biosphere that regularly computes daily gross primary production and annual net primary production at 1-kilometer (km) resolution over 109,782,756 km2 of vegetated land surface is introduced.

Climate-Driven Increases in Global Terrestrial Net Primary Production from 1982 to 1999

It is indicated that global changes in climate have eased several critical climatic constraints to plant growth, such that net primary production increased 6% (3.4 petagrams of carbon over 18 years) globally.

Increased plant growth in the northern high latitudes from 1981 to 1991

Variations in the amplitude and timing of the seasonal cycle of atmospheric CO2 have shown an association with surface air temperature consistent with the hypothesis that warmer temperatures have…

Parameterization and Sensitivity Analysis of the BIOME–BGC Terrestrial Ecosystem Model: Net Primary Production Controls

Abstract Ecosystem simulation models use descriptive input parameters to establish the physiology, biochemistry, structure, and allocation patterns of vegetation functional types, or biomes. For…

Mapping and Modeling the Biogeochemical Cycling of Turf Grasses in the United States

The results indicate that well-watered and fertilized turf grasses act as a carbon sink, suggesting that outdoor water conservation practices such as xeriscaping and irrigation with recycled waste-water may need to be extended as many municipalities continue to face increasing pressures on freshwater.

Global Terrestrial Gross and Net Primary Productivity from the Earth Observing System

Probably the single most fundamental measure of “global change” of highest practical interest to humankind is the change in terrestrial biological productivity. Biological productivity is the source…
