Global decline in net primary production underestimated by climate models | Communications Earth & Environment - Nature

Recent research published in *Communications Earth & Environment* reveals that climate models may significantly underestimate the global decline in net primary production (NPP). This decline, a critical measure of the Earth's ability to convert sunlight into biomass, has profound implications for ecosystem health and carbon cycling. The study highlights the need for improved climate modeling that accurately reflects the complexities of marine and terrestrial ecosystems. By enhancing our understanding of NPP trends, we can better inform policies aimed at ocean stewardship and climate resilience.
