NPP Multi-Biome: Global Terrestrial Productivity, 1937-1981
NASA's NPP Multi-Biome dataset provides net primary productivity estimates, vegetation characteristics, and summary climate data for 720 globally-distributed terrestrial sites. The data were synthesized from 858 scientific literature references published between 1869 and 1982, with most from the 1960s and 1970s. Each site is georeferenced and classified by biome, including cropland, desert, forest, grassland, savanna, tundra, and wetlands.
