In order to understand the impact of urbanizing landscapes on regional gross primary production (GPP), we analyzed changes in land-cover and annual GPP over an urban-rural gradient in ten Southeastern Michigan counties between 1991 and 1999. Landsat and AVHRR remote sensing data and biophysical parameters corresponding to three major landcover types (i.e., built-up, tree, and… Continue reading Increasing Gross Primary Production (GPP) in the urbanizing landscapes of southeastern Michigan
