NPP GRASSLAND: KHOMUTOV, UKRAINE, 1948-1970

Productivity of a "typical" steppe was determined at the Khomutovskaya Ukrainian Steppe Natural Reserve in Donezk Region, from 1967 to 1970. Measurement of monthly dynamics of above-ground plant biomass were made for each growing season (April-August/September). Cumulative above-ground net primary production was estimated for each year. These data are part of a series of grassland data sets recently assembled and checked by Dr. Tagir Gilmanov, which cover a wide range of climate and "continentality" (increasing maximum summer temperatures, decreasing precipitation) from the North-West to the South-East of the Commonwealth of Independent States (former USSR). Climate data for this site are also available: see Any Other Relevant Information in section 11 of this document. More information on the entire Net Primary Production Project can be found atthe NPP homepage.1967年至1970年间，研究于顿涅茨克地区霍穆托夫斯卡亚乌克兰草原自然保护区展开，测定了"典型"草原的生产力。针对每个生长季（4月至8月/9月），对地上植物生物量的月动态变化开展了测定，并估算了各年度的累积地上净初级生产力（above-ground net primary production）。本数据集为塔吉尔·吉尔马诺夫（Tagir Gilmanov）博士近期整理并校验的一系列草原数据集的组成部分；该系列数据集覆盖了独立国家联合体（原苏联）从西北到东南区域的多样气候条件与"大陆性程度"（夏季最高气温升高、降水量降低）。该研究样地的气候数据亦可获取：详见本文档第11章节的"其他相关信息"部分。有关整个净初级生产力项目的更多详情，可访问NPP项目主页获取。
