Tracking the seasonal and inter-annual variations of global gross primary production during last four decades using satellite near-infrared reflectance data

Abstract

Terrestrial vegetation absorbs approximately 30% of the anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted into the atmosphere through photosynthesis (represented by gross primary productivity, GPP) and thus effectively mitigates global warming. However, large uncertainties still remain in the global GPP estimations and their long-term trends. Here we used the satellite-based near-infrared reflectance (NIRv) as the proxy of GPP and generated a global long-term (1982-2018) GPP datasets (hereafter GPPNIRv). Analysis at the site-level showed that NIRv could accurately capture both the monthly and annual variations in GPP (R2 = 0.71 and 0.74 respectively) at 104 flux sites. Upscaling the relationships between NIRv and GPP to the global scale, the global annual GPP was estimated to be 128.3 ± 4.0 Pg C yr-1 during the last four decades, which fell between the estimations from the machine-learning upscaling approach, light-use-efficiency (LUE) models and processed-based models. The seasonal variation of GPPNIRv was also consistent with those from flux sites and models. More importantly, the inter-annual trends in GPPNIRv during the last four decades were consistent with those from processed-based models across latitudes, which outperformed the other GPP products. This evidence suggested that the long-term GPP datasets derived from NIRv have better abilities to capture the seasonal and inter-annual variations of terrestrial GPP at the global scale. The long-term GPPNIRv product could be beneficial for the estimation of terrestrial carbon fluxes and for the projection of future climates.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
