Net primary productivity distribution in the BOREAS region from a process model using satellite and surface data

The purpose of this paper is to upscale tower measurements of net primary productivity (NPP) to the Boreal Ecosystem‐Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) study region by means of remote sensing and modeling. The Boreal Ecosystem Productivity Simulator (BEPS) with a new daily canopy photosynthesis model was first tested in one coniferous and one deciduous site. The simultaneous CO 2 flux measurements above and below the tree canopy made it possible to …
