GPP = NPP + Ra (always a sink) NOTATION GPP = NPP + Ra (always a sink) NPP = fNPP + wNPP + rNPP + mNPP = biomass NEP = NPP – Rh GPP = NEP + Re (eddy covariance) Re = Ra + Rh; Rs = Ra + Rh (below ground part) Respiration: autotrophic (plants) or heterotrophic (microbial) Conceptual understanding based on carbon cycle diagrams but hard to measure most of these components. Students will be reading this article for homework so this is just an introduction. CO2 balance of boreal, temperate, and tropical forests derived from a global database S.
