Understanding the relationship between water and production within and across
agroecosystems is essential for addressing several agricultural challenges of the 21st …

Accurately simulating gross primary productivity (GPP) in terrestrial ecosystem models is
critical because errors in simulated GPP propagate through the model to introduce …

Water use efficiency (WUE; gross primary production [GPP]/evapotranspiration [ET])
estimates the tradeoff between carbon gain and water loss during photosynthesis and is an …

Monitoring variations in vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) contributes greatly to the
evaluation of terrestrial ecosystem structure and function. Current research has focused on …

Aim Carbon use efficiency [net primary production (NPP)/gross primary production (GPP)
ratio] is a parameter related to the allocation of photosynthesized products by plants and is …

MOD17A2 provides operational gross primary production (GPP) data globally at 1km spatial
resolution and 8-day temporal resolution. MOD17A2 estimates GPP according to the light …

Ecosystem energy has been shown to be a strong correlate with biological diversity at
continental scales. Early efforts to characterize this association used the normalized …

We analyze the contribution of ecosystem services to GDP and use this contribution to
calculate an empirical price for ecosystem services. Net primary production is used as a …

Quantifying the current carbon cycle of terrestrial ecosystems requires that we translate
spatially sparse measurements into consistent, gridded flux estimates at the regional scale …

We used daily MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) imagery obtained
over a five-year period to analyze the seasonal and inter-annual variability of the fraction of …
