Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the estimation capability of two different process-based NPP models (CASA and LPJ-GUESS) in a Mediterranean watershed. Remotely sensed data and climate time series (temperature, precipitation and solar radiation) were input to these models in the example of Goksu River Basin which is located in the Eastern Mediterranean Part of Turkey.
