Abstract
Changes in land use or land cover strongly influence ecosystem properties. One such property is net primary production (NPP), which may increase, as through human management of agricultural lands, or decrease, such as following deforestation or fire. In this study, we investigated changing NPP as computed from 21 years of 8-km satellite observations and a production efficiency model (CASA). Here we analyzed time series of satellite-derived NPP in conjunction with other data sets that describe land-use or land-cover change to evaluate the response of production.
