NPP GRASSLAND: NPP ESTIMATES FROM BIOMASS DYNAMICS FOR 31 SITES, 1948-1994

Field measurements of biomass and associated environmental data were compiled for multiple study sites in major grassland types worldwide. When sufficient biomass data were available, we compared NPP estimated by six different algorithms for 31 grassland sites to examine potential bias associated with the algorithms (Scurlock et al. 2002). This data set includes monthly grassland biomass data and NPP estimates produced by the different algorithms.
