5.2 Recommendation
1. Although the results in this study represent our current understanding of how climate change affects terrestrial NPP, they do not consider the
redistribution of vegetation that may result from climate change. It is recommended to do evaluate the sensitivity of NPP to vegetation
redistribution in addition to changes in climate. 2. To improve the prediction of net primary production, it is recommended to
apply more parameter data such as land cover data from high resolution satellite data.
3. It is important to conduct field experiments and observations for advancing our understanding of the interactions between the carbon and
nitrogen cycles in the tropics.
