Fire is part of the natural reproductive cycle of many forests revitalizing growth by opening seeds and releasing nutrients
from the soil.
However, fires can also spread quickly and threaten settlements and wildlife, eliminate timber supplies, and
temporarily damage conservation areas.
Information is needed to help control the extent of fire, and to assess how well the forest is recovering following a burn.

Biogeochemical CyclesCarbon Cycle
Remote Sensing instruments assist scientistsin understanding the carbon cycle by estimating the
areas covered by plants, identifying the kinds of plants, and estimating the period for which they are
photosynthetically active.
Campbell 20.2
![Page 21: Forest Fire Oil Spill Floods Biogeochemical Cycle Class 13. Remote Sensing Applications](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7d5503460f94b7f3dc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
NPP is the difference between plant photosynthesis and respiration which releases part of the carbon
absorbed: NPP = Photosynthesis Rate - Plant Respiration Rate
(expressed in units of gram carbon/ m2/year)
Net Primary Productivity (NPP)
CCRS WWW
NPP is a parameter used to quantify the net carbon absorption rate by living plants.
Net Carbon Flow to/from Terrestrial Ecosystems Net Ecosystem Productivity (NEP)
= NPP - Soil Respiration (gram carbon/m2/year)
![Page 22: Forest Fire Oil Spill Floods Biogeochemical Cycle Class 13. Remote Sensing Applications](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649e7d5503460f94b7f3dc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
NPP quantifies the carbon absorption by plants only, while
NEP includes carbon absorption by plants and carbon release by soils.
NPP is a component of the carbon cycle, while NEP is net carbon exchange
between the ecosystem and the atmosphere; NEP quantifies the various carbon sinks and sources.
