A global database of net primary production of terrestrial ecosystems

The database contains estimates for below- and aboveground production for over 400 sites, spanning all major terrestrial biomes and climate regions. The dataset contains detailed descriptions of each site as well as detailed information on measurement methodology. Furthermore, the biomass production data is supplemented with data on climate and soil conditions extracted from global databases. The database can be used for studies on regional and global scales, as well as a validation and calibration dataset for global vegetation models.
