Drought-Induced Reduction in Global Terrestrial Net Primary Production from 2000 Through 2009

Zhao, Maosheng, Running, Steven W.·2010·Science

Abstract

Reversing the Trend: Terrestrial net primary productivity (NPP, the amount of atmospheric carbon fixed by plants and accumulated as biomass) increased from 1982 through 1999, which has been attributed to factors such as nitrogen deposition, CO 2 fertilization, forest regrowth, and climatic changes. Zhao and Running (p. 940 ) used satellite data to estimate global terrestrial NPP over the past decade and found that the earlier trend has been reversed and that NPP has been decreasing. Combining this result with climate change data suggests that large-scale droughts are responsible for the decline. Future widespread droughts caused by global warming may thus further weaken the terrestrial carbon sink.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
