LIVE BIOMASS & NET PRIMARY PRODUCTION

Phytomass (live biomass) and Net Primary Production (NPP) belong to the most important indicators of biological productivity of forest ecosystems. This section contains results of the assessment of phytomass and NPP of Russian forests using methods and models developed by the IIASA Forestry Program and based on data of the Russian State Forest Account for 2003. The data are presented by administrative units (subjects of the Russian Federation) and dominant species distributed by fractions and age groups of stands. The data regarding live biomass and NPP for Russian forest ecosystems at this level of detail are reported here for the first time.
