Project: NET PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY (NPP)

Project: NET PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY (NPP)
NPP (net primary production) data from existing field measurements are being compiled for approximately 100 study sites covering several major world ecosystem types. These data are used by global change modelers to develop and validate models of vegetation-soil-atmosphere interactions within the global carbon cycle and to help calibrate remote sensing of vegetation worldwide

Data Set: NPP TROPICAL FOREST: CONSISTENT WORLDWIDE SITE ESTIMATES, 1967-1999
Currently available data on net primary production in tropical forests are extremely limited. Even the best estimates for this biome must be thought of as rough approximations within wide bounds. Nevertheless, this study has provided a basis for evaluating the quality and utility of the data generated by past studies and of the NPP estimates that have been reported in the literature for tropical forests.
