Abstract

The article discusses a study on temporal dynamics of grass and shrub aboveground net primary production (ANPP) in the Patagonian steppe. It states association of ANPP with senescence with climatic fluctuations in the region, and mentions amount of biomass harvests of grasses and shrubs. It notes dependence of shrub production on cumulative precipitation, and cites significance of separating functional types in studying productivity.
