About this dataset

✦ Suggested by OrionAIThe seasonal Net Biomass Water Productivity expresses the quantity of output (total biomass production) in relation to the total volume of water beneficially consumed (through canopy transpiration) during the growing cycle of the vegetation. Contrary to gross water productivity, net water productivity is particularly useful in monitoring how effectively vegetation (and, more importantly, crops) uses water to develop biomass (and thus yield). The data is provided in near real time from January 2010 to 2019. **Data publication:** 2020-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: -9999 Unit: kg/m³ Scale Factor : 0.001 Map code : L3-NBWP-S Conversion factor: the pixel value in the downloaded data must be multiplied by 0.001 New dekadal data layers are released approximately 5 days after the end of a dekad. A higher quality version of the same data layer is uploaded after 6 dekads have passed. This final version of the dekadal dataset has a higher quality because gap filling and interpolation processes, where needed, have been based on more data observations. This implies that other temporal aggregations (monthly, seasonal, annual), and layers that depend on those, are updated as well. Practically this means that a final annual aggregation of the most recent full calendar year can only be produced after the end of February. Likewise, the final monthly aggregation of the most recent calendar months can only be produced 2 full months later. **Citation:** FAO 2018. WaPOR Database Methodology: Level 3.

The following data is used for calculating it: - Seasonal TBP - Dekadal T - Phenology (start of season and end of season) **Resource constraints:** Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY-4.0) **Online resources:** Download the data from Google Cloud Storage
Total Biomass Production (TBP) is defined as the sum of the above-ground dry matter produced during the course of the growing season. The seasonal value represents the total accumulated biomass during one growing season, from start of season (SOS) to end of season (EOS). A pixel value of -9997 denotes \"out of season\". The data is provided from January 2009 to 2022. **Data publication:** 2020-01-01 **Supplemental Information:** No data value: -9999 Unit: kg/ha Scale Factor: 10 Map code: L2-TBP-S Conversion factor: the pixel value in the downloaded data must be multiplied by 10 New dekadal data layers are released approximately 5 days after the end of a dekad.

TBP is then calculated as the sum of NPP, converted into dry matter productivity (DMP) units (kg/ha), between the start of the season (SOS) and the end of the season (EOS). At the end of the season, when the crops for the area can be assessed, the dekadal and seasonal TBP values are adjusted using an additional root-shoot correction factor data layer that allows the user to correct the TBP using the land cover specific root-shoot values. A limitation for the derivation of TBP is the dependency on phenological information, meaning that TBP can only be derived for areas where seasonality is detected. For ecosystems, such as tropical forests or deserts, that experience almost no seasonality, the start of season is theoretically set at January 1st and end of season is set at December 31st.

Until December 2019 the base input layers (NDVI, albedo, and fAPAR) for the Level 2 (100m) products were derived from the Proba-V satellite. Proba-V was decommissioned in June 2020. From January 2020 onwards the base input layers of NDVI, albedo and fAPAR for level 2 are derived from the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission. **Resource constraints:** Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY-4.0) **Online resources:** Download the data from Google Cloud Storage
