Abstract	Net primary production (NPP) is an important index for evaluating the patterns, processes, and dynamics of carbon cycling in forest ecosystems. In this study, we estimated the NPP in a warm-temperate old-growth evergreen broad-leaved forest in southwestern Japan. The estimation was based on four compartments: aboveground stand increment (ΔM), aboveground litterfall (Lf), fine-root production (Fr), and coarse root increment (ΔCr). The data for ΔM and ΔCr were collected from a permanent 200 × 200 m$^{2}$ plot over a 4-year interval, while Lf and Fr were collected over a 1-year interval. The NPP was 4.65 g m$^{−2}$ day$^{−1}$, of which ΔM accounted for 25.2 %, Lf accounted for 38.7 %, Fr accounted for 33.4 %, and the remaining 2.7 % was attributed to ΔCr. There was a significant regression between aboveground litterfall and fine-root production (R $^{2}$ = 0.65, P < 0.05). Fine-root decomposition (0.66 g m$^{−2}$ day$^{−1}$) accounted for 14.2 % of the NPP, leading to a higher belowground NPP in the present study compared with that in other forests. We conclude that an estimation of the decomposition of dead fine-roots by the continuous inflow method must be included to improve the accuracy of NPP estimations for forest ecosystems.
