Using APAR to Predict Aboveground Plant Productivity in Semi-Aid Rangelands: Spatial and Temporal Relationships Differ

Using APAR to Predict Aboveground Plant Productivity in Semi-Aid Rangelands: Spatial and Temporal Relationships Differ

Monitoring of aboveground net primary production (ANPP) is critical for effective management of rangeland ecosystems but is problematic due to the vast extent of rangelands globally, and the high costs of ground-based measurements. Remote sensing of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (APAR...
