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.

Europe-wide reduction in primary productivity caused by the heat and drought in 2003

An increase in future drought events could turn temperate ecosystems into carbon sources, contributing to positive carbon-climate feedbacks already anticipated in the tropics and at high latitudes.

IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON NET PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY IN AFRICA CONTINENT FROM 2001 TO 2010

Terrestrial ecosystem is highly sensitive to the global climate change especially the changes in temperature and precipitation which are the dominant factors controlling plant growth. African…

Changes in vegetation net primary productivity from 1982 to 1999 in China

Terrestrial net primary production (NPP) has been a central focus of ecosystem science in the past several decades because of its importance to the terrestrial carbon cycle and ecosystem processes.…

Recent Climate-Driven Increases in Vegetation Productivity for the Western Arctic: Evidence of an Acceleration of the Northern Terrestrial Carbon Cycle

Abstract Northern ecosystems contain much of the global reservoir of terrestrial carbon that is potentially reactive in the context of near-term climate change. Annual variability and recent trends…

Drought-Induced Reduction in Global Terrestrial Net Primary Production from 2000 Through 2009

Satellite data used to estimate global terrestrial NPP over the past decade found that the earlier trend has been reversed and that NPP has been decreasing, and combined with climate change data suggests that large-scale droughts are responsible for the decline.

Dynamic changes in terrestrial net primary production and their effects on evapotranspiration

Abstract. The dramatic increase of global temperature since the year 2000 has a considerable impact on the global water cycle and vegetation dynamics. Little has been done about recent feedback of…

Contrasting responses of terrestrial ecosystem production to hot temperature extreme regimes between grassland and forest

Abstract. During the past several decades, observational data have shown a faster increase in hot temperature extremes than the change in mean temperature. Increasingly high extreme temperatures are…

Terrestrial carbon dynamics of Southern United States in response to changes in climate, atmosphere, and land-use/land cover from 1895 to 2005

An integrated land ecosystem model was used to estimate carbon (C) storage and to analyze the impacts of environmental changes on C dynamics from 1971 to 2001 in Great Smoky Mountains National Park…

Constraints to Vegetation Growth Reduced by Region-Specific Changes in Seasonal Climate

We qualitatively and quantitatively assessed the factors related to vegetation growth using Earth system models and corroborated the results with historical climate observations. The Earth system…

Sensitivity of primary production to precipitation across the United States.

For the first time, an empirically-derived map of ecosystem sensitivity to climate across the conterminous United States is produced, showing that annual primary production values were most sensitive to precipitation and aridity in dryland and grassland ecosystems.

Light, rather than water, temperature, or leaf nitrogen, was the primary factor limiting CO2 uptake during the rainy season, and photosynthesis, vegetative growth, and reproduction increased significantly.

Long-term monitoring of plots in mature humid tropical forests concentrated in South America revealed that biomass gain by tree growth exceeded losses from tree death in 38 of 50 Neotropical sites, suggesting that Neotropic forests may be a significant carbon sink.
