1.2 MIP Variable: Gross Primary Production on Land-Use Tile as Carbon Mass Flux [kgC m-2 s-1] (gppLut)

Record Label : gppLut

Record Title : Gross Primary Production on Land-Use Tile as Carbon Mass Flux [kgC m-2 s-1]

CF Standard Name : gross_primary_productivity_of_biomass_expressed_as_carbon

Units of Measure : kg m-2 s-1

Record Description : The rate of synthesis of biomass from inorganic precursors by autotrophs ("producers") expressed as the mass of carbon which it contains. For example, photosynthesis in plants or phytoplankton. The producers also respire some of this biomass and the difference is referred to as the net primary production. Reported on land-use tiles.
