Phenomenological Models of the Primary Productivity of Zonal Arctic Ecosystems

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 124))

Abstract

The primary productivity of an ecosystem, as measured by either the rate of gross photosynthesis of the photoautotrophs (called Gross Primary Productivity, GPP) or the rate of net photosynthesis of the autotrophs (as equal to the gross photosynthesis minus respiration, called Net Primary Productivity, NPP), belongs to the prime components of the gas exchange between the ecosystem and the atmosphere. For most terrestrial ecosystems, reliable empirical data and adequate mathematical models of production process are presently available; however, for arctic and alpine ecosystems the number and quality of related data remain very limited. The available publications and reviews are usually limited to pairwise linear correlative relationships (Bazilevich, 1992, 1994; Bazilevich et al., 1986; French, 1981; Wielgolaski et al., 1981), though the need for multivariate nonlinear analysis is generally acknowledged.
