What Does NCP Stand For?
NCP stands for Net Community Productivity
Net Community Productivity (NCP) refers to the net rate at which a community of organisms within a specific ecosystem produces organic matter through photosynthesis and other metabolic processes, after accounting for the organic matter consumed through respiration and decomposition. It serves as a key indicator of the overall health and sustainability of an ecosystem, reflecting the balance between energy capture and loss. NCP is essential for understanding ecosystem dynamics, supporting biodiversity, and assessing the impacts of environmental changes.
