...Some models in this category like CASA, (Potter et al. 1993) CENTURY, (Patron et al. 1993) and HRBM (Field et al. 1995) take into the consideration vegetation characteristics and environmental variables or indicators such as temperature, precipitation, available soil nitrogen and other fertility factors to estimate NPP as the difference between two processes viz., (a) GPP i.e. the total uptake of carbon from the atmosphere by plants, and (b) autotrophic respiration (RA: the release of carbon to the atmosphere by plant respiration)....
