Biosphere - NASA Earthdata Life within Earth’s biosphere consists of millions of species living in various types of biomes such as grassland, forest, desert, aquatic, and tundra areas Biomes are often divided into numerous subtypes, including rainforest or savannah
Biodiversity Functions | NASA Earthdata Data on vegetation health, primary productivity, evapotranspiration, forest structure, and ocean chlorophyll shed light on the health and productivity of the biosphere NASA data can also be used to study the suitability of an environment for different species, as well as species distribution within a habitat
SiB3 Modeled Global 1-degree Hourly Biosphere-Atmosphere . . . - Earthdata The Simple Biosphere Model, Version 3 (SiB3) was used to produce a global data set of hourly carbon fluxes between the atmosphere and the terrestrial biosphere for the years 1998-2006 This data set represents the global net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of carbon between the atmosphere and the terrestrial biosphere; specifically, the flux of CO2
NACP Regional: Gridded 1-deg Observation Data and Biosphere . . . - Earthdata This data set is related to two other processed regional data sets (i e , NACP Regional: Supplemental Gridded Observations, Biosphere and Inverse Model Outputs; and NACP Regional: National Greenhouse Gas Inventories and Aggregated Gridded Model Data) and the originally-submitted NACP Regional: Original Observation Data and Biosphere and Inverse
NACP Site: Terrestrial Biosphere Model and Aggregated Flux . . . - Earthdata This data set provides standardized output variables for gross primary productivity (GPP), net ecosystem exchange (NEE), leaf area index (LAI), ecosystem respiration (Re), latent heat flux (LE), and sensible heat flux (H) from 24 terrestrial biosphere models for 47 eddy covariance flux tower sites in North America
Anthropogenic Human Influenced Ecosystems | NASA Earthdata When humans build cities, plant or cut down forests, grow crops, burn fuel, and alter bodies of water, it can have profound impacts on Earth's biosphere, both positive and negative Understanding the ways in which humans interact with the environment and how the resulting changes affect Earth’s systems is important to ensuring that humans and
Alpine Tundra | NASA Earthdata Habitat found in the zone on mountain tops between permanent snow and the cold limits of trees, or in arctic regions, characterized by very low winter temperatures, short cool summers, permafrost below a surface layer subject to summer melt, short growing season, and low precipitation
Wetlands | NASA Earthdata The biosphere encompasses all life on Earth and extends from root systems to mountaintops and all depths
NACP Regional: Supplemental Gridded Observations, Biosphere . . . - Earthdata The data set provides six (6) observation data packages (9 variables - MODIS LAI, MODIS FPAR, MODIS NDVI, MODIS EVI, FIA forest biomass, forest area, GPP Anomaly, NEE Anomaly, Reco Anomaly; 8 data files), output results from three terrestrial biosphere models (TBM) (14 variables; 214 files), and simulations from one inverse model (IM) (one
