Coherence of Net Primary Productivity EstimatesKeala Hagmann
Mark Harmon: carbon dynamics, scalabilityDon Henshaw: database and people managementHoward Bruner: reference stand data & NPPSuzanne Remillard: reference stand data & NPPGody Spycher: data manipulation
NPPb = ∆Biomass + Mortality
Net Primary Productivity of Live Tree Boles
Measure–ability to sequester carbon, sink or source of atmospheric carbon
Ask–how scalable are the estimates?
Why–refine estimates for carbon cycles; learn more about ecosystem
Productivity and Scalability
Identify the spatial scale at which the parts represent the whole
