Using field observations, we determined the relationships between spectral indices and the shrub ratio, green phytomass and leaf turnover of a sedge-shrub tundra community in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, USA. We established a 50‐m × 50‐m plot (69.73°N 143.62°W) located on a floodplain of the refuge. The willow shrub (Salix lanata) and sedge (Carex bigelowii) dominated the plot vegetation. In July to August 2007, we established ten 0.5‐m × 0.5‐m quadrats on both shrub‐covered ground (shrub quadrats) and on ground with no shrubs (sedge quadrats). The shrub ratio was more strongly correlated with the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI, R2 of 0.57) than the normalized difference infrared index (NDII), the soil-adjusted vegetation index (SAVI) or the enhanced vegetation index (EVI). On the other hand, for both green phytomass and leaf turnover, the strongest correlation was with NDII (R 2 of 0.63 and 0.79, respectively). 相似文献

Remote sensing offers a nondestructive tool for the quick and precise estimation of canopy chlorophyll content that serves as an important indicator of the plant ecosystem. In this study, the canopy chlorophyll content of 26 samples in 2007 and 40 samples in 2008 of maize were nondestructively estimated by a set of vegetation indices (VIs; Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI; Green Chlorophyll Index, CIgreen; modified soil adjust vegetation index, MSAVI; and Enhanced Vegetation Index, EVI) derived from the hyperspectral Hyperion and Thematic Mapper (TM) images. The PROSPECT model was used for sensitivity analysis among the indices and results indicated that CIgreen had a large linear correlation with chlorophyll content ranging from 100–1000 mg m?2. EVI showed a moderate ability in avoiding saturation and reached a saturation of chlorophyll content above 600 mg m?2. Both of the other two indices, MSAVI and NDVI, showed a clear saturation at chlorophyll content of 400 mg m?2, which demonstrated they may be inappropriate for chlorophyll interpretation at high values. A validation study was also conducted with satellite observations (Hyperion and TM) and in-situ measurements of chlorophyll content in maize. Results indicated that canopy chlorophyll content can be remotely evaluated by VIs with r 2 ranging from the lowest of 0.73 for NDVI to the highest of 0.86 for CIgreen. EVI had a greater precision (r 2=0.81) than MASVI (r 2=0.75) in canopy chlorophyll content estimation. The results agreed well with the sensitivity study and will be helpful in developing future models for canopy chlorophyll evaluation. 相似文献

Global demands for biomass and arable lands are expected to double in the next 35 years. Scarcity of water resources in arid and semi-arid areas poses a serious threat to their agricultural productivity and hence their food security. In this study, we examine whether crop yields can be predicted from remotely sensed vegetation indices and remotely sensed estimates of primary productivity. Spatial relationships between remotely sensed enhanced vegetation index (EVI), net photosynthesis (PNet), and gross and net primary production (GPP and NPP, respectively) in irrigated semi-arid and arid agro-ecosystems since the beginning of the century are analysed. The conflict-affected country of Syria is selected as the case study. Relationships between EVI and crop yield are investigated in an effort to enhance food production estimates in affected areas outside governmental jurisdictions. Estimates of NPP derived from reported irrigated agriculture crop data in a semi-arid and an arid zone are compared to remotely sensed NPP in a geospatial environment. Results show that winter crop yields are correlated with spring GPP in semi-arid zones of the study area (R2 = 0.85). Summer crop yield can be predicted from either cumulative summer EVI (R2 = 0.77) or PNet in most zones. Where fully irrigated fields are surrounded by hyper-arid landscape, summer PNet was negative in all instances and EVI was inversely correlated with yield. NPP from crops was much higher (290 gC m?2 year?1) in those regions than MOD17 NPP (70 gC m–2), where 1.0 g of carbon is equivalent to 2.2 g of oven-dry organic matter (= 45% carbon by weight). The gap was less in semi-arid zones (2–39% difference). Overall crop-derived NPP for the period 2000–2013 was 322 versus 300 gC m–2 for that remotely sensed within the cropped zones of the political units. The results of this study are crucial to derive accurate estimates of irrigated agriculture productivity and to study the effect of the latter on net ecosystem carbon storage. 相似文献

This experiment investigated the relationship among the reflectance spectral vegetation indices, sulphur dioxide (SO2) concentration and chlorophyll concentration (Ch) of rice canopy under different levels of atmospheric SO2. A split plot field experiment comprising seedlings of three genotypes of rice was exposed to SO2 at different concentrations. Visible and near infrared canopy reflectance were measured for each SO2 treatment 30 days and 46 days after transplanting, respectively. SO2 concentration had a strong negative relationship with Ch-a (chlorophyll-a concentration), Ch-b (chlorophyll-b concentration) and Ch-t (total chlorophyll concentration) (correlation coefficients R from ?0.454 to ?0.618) at the 0.01 confidence level. Green and red reflectance varied with SO2 concentrations. Average reflectance were used to calculate difference vegetation index (DVI), normal difference vegetation index (NDVI) and ratio vegetation index (RVI). MERIS Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index (MTCI) was used in this investigation also. One-sample tests showed that for this spectral laboratory there was significant difference at the 0.01 level at those vegetation index (DVI, RVI, NDVI and MTCI). DVI (ρred–ρgreen, ρnir–ρred and ρnir–ρgreen), NDVI (ρnir–ρred/ρnir+ρred), RVI (ρnir/ρred) and MTCI were significantly correlated with Ch-b, and Ch-t at the 0.05 confidence level or above. Although MTCI was significantly correlated with Ch-b and Ch-t, it was not strongly correlated with SO2 concentration. DVI, NDVI (ρnir–ρred/ρnir+ρred) and RVI (ρnir/ρred) were proved effective methods to estimate the injury of rice by SO2 air pollutant. 相似文献

In this study, an arid grassland was selected, and the chlorophyll content of the leaf and canopy level was estimated based on Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) data using the PROSAIL radiative transfer (RT) model. Two vegetation indices (green chlorophyll index, CIgreen, and greenness index, G) were selected to estimate the leaf and canopy chlorophyll content (LCC and CCC). By analysing the effect of soil background on the two indices, the LCC was divided into low and moderate-to-high levels. A different combination of the two indices was adopted at each level to improve the chlorophyll content estimation accuracy. The results suggested that the chlorophyll content estimated using the proposed method yielded a higher accuracy with coefficient of determination, R2 = 0.84, root-mean-square error, RMSE = 9.67 μg cm?2 for LCC and R2 = 0.85, RMSE = 0.43 g m?2 for CCC than that using CIgreen alone with R2 = 0.62, RMSE = 20.04 μg cm?2 for LCC and R2 = 0.85, RMSE = 0.71 g m?2 for CCC. The results also confirmed the validity of this approach to estimate the chlorophyll content in arid areas. 相似文献

In this study, seasonal field measurements of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), using a field spectroradiometer, and leaf area index (LAI), using a LI‐COR LAI‐2000 Plant Canopy Analyzer, were compared with above‐ground phytomass data to investigate relationships between vegetation properties and spectral indices for four distinct tundra vegetation types at Ivotuk, Alaska (68.49°?N, 155.74°?W). NDVI, LAI and above‐ground phytomass data were collected biweekly from four 100?m×100?m grids, each representative of a different vegetation type, during the 1999 growing season. Shrub phytomass, especially the live foliar deciduous shrub phytomass, was the major factor controlling NDVI across all vegetation types. LAI showed the strongest relationship with the overstorey component (total above‐ground excluding moss and lichen) of phytomass and also showed a significant relationship with NDVI. The results from this study illustrated that time of the growing season in which sampling is conducted, non‐linearity of relationships, and plant composition are important factors to consider when using relationships between NDVI, LAI and phytomass to parameterize or validate ecological models. The relationships established in this study also suggest that NDVI is useful for estimating levels of total live above‐ground phytomass and LAI in tundra vegetation. 相似文献

An approach was developed for regional assessment and monitoring of land-atmosphere carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange, soil heterotrophic respiration (R h), and vegetation productivity of Arctic tundra using global satellite remote sensing at optical and microwave wavelengths. C- and X-band brightness temperatures were used from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) to extract surface wetness and temperature, and MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data were used to derive land cover, Leaf Area Index (LAI), and Net Primary Production (NPP) information. Calibration and validation activities involve comparisons between satellite remote sensing and tundra CO2 eddy flux towers, and hydroecological process model simulations. Analyses of spatial and temporal anomalies and environmental drivers of land-atmosphere net CO2 exchange at weekly and annual time steps were conducted. Surface soil moisture and temperature, as detected from satellite remote-sensing observations, were found to be major drivers for spatial and temporal patterns of tundra net ecosystem CO2 exchange and photosynthetic and respiration processes. Satellite microwave measurements are capable of capturing seasonal variations and regional patterns in tundra soil heterotrophic respiration and CO2 exchange, while the ability to extract spatial patterns at the scale of surface heterogeneity is limited by the coarse spatial scale of the satellite remote-sensing footprint. The microwave-derived surface temperature and soil moisture were used to estimate net ecosystem carbon exchange (NEE) at the boreal-Arctic region. These were validated using flux tower sites data. Existing satellite-based measurements of vegetation structure (i.e. LAI) and productivity (i.e. Gross Primary Production (GPP) and NPP) from the Aqua/Terra MODIS with the AMSR-E-derived land-surface temperature and soil moisture were used and integrated. Spatially explicit estimates of NEE for the pan-Arctic region at daily, weekly and annual intervals were derived. Comparative analysis of satellite data-derived NEE with measurements from CO2 eddy flux tower sites and the BIOME-BGC model were carried out and good agreement was found. The comparative analysis is statistically significant with high regression (i.e. R 2?=?0.965), especially in the R h calculation and the overall NEE regression is 0.478. The results also indicate that the carbon cycle response to climate change is nonlinear and is strongly coupled to Arctic surface hydrology. 相似文献

To estimate the gross CO2 flux (FCO2) of deciduous coniferous forest from canopy spectral reflectance, we introduced spectral vegetation indices (VIs) into a light use efficiency (LUE) model of mature Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi) forest. We measured the eddy covariance CO2 flux and spectral reflectance of larch canopy at half-hourly intervals during one growing season, and investigated the relationships between the parameters of the LUE model (FAPAR, ?) and 3 types of VIs (NDVI, PRI, EVI) in both clear sky and cloudy conditions.FAPAR (fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation) had a positive linear relationship with both NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) and EVI (enhanced vegetation index), and the sky condition had little effect on the relationships. The relative RMSE (root mean square error) of the APAR (absorbed photosynthetically active radiation) based on the incoming PAR and estimated FAPAR from a linear function of NDVI was less than 10.5%, irrespective of sky condition.Half-hourly values of ? (conversion efficiency of absorbed energy) showed both seasonal variation related to leaf phenology and short-term variation related to light intensity due to varied sun position and sky condition. Both EVI and PRI (photochemical reflectance index) were significantly correlated with ?. EVI showed a positive linear relationship with ? as a result of their similar seasonal variation. However, since EVI did not detect short-term variation of ?, their relationship differed among sky conditions. On the other hand, although PRI could trace the short-term variation of ? in green needles, the relationship became non-linear due to drastic reduction of PRI in the senescent needles.EVI/(PRI/PRImin), a combined index based on a 6-day moving minimum value of PRI (PRImin), showed a linear relationship with half-hourly values of ? throughout the seasons irrespective of sky condition. This index allow us to estimate ? in all sky conditions with a smaller error (rRMSE = 35.2%) than using EVI or PRI alone (38.7%-48.7%). Consequently, this combined index-derived ? and NDVI-based FAPAR gave a low estimation error of FCO2 (rRMSE = 36.4%, RMSE = 8.3 μmol m− 2 s− 1). Although there are still various issues to resolve, including adaptive limit and combination of vegetation index type, we conclude that the combination of PRI and EVI increased the accuracy of estimation of CO2 uptake in deciduous forest even though sky conditions varied. 相似文献

Light use efficiency (LUE) is of great importance for carbon cycle and climate change research. This study presents a new LUE model incorporation of vegetation indices (VIs) and land surface temperature (LST) derived from the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) in Harvard Forest. Three indices, including the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), the two-band enhanced vegetation index (EVI2) and the soil-adjusted vegetation index (SAVI), were selected as indicators of forest canopy greenness. A single VI provided moderate estimates of LUE with coefficients of determination (R 2) 0.6219, 0.7094 and 0.7502 for NDVI, EVI2 and SAVI, respectively. Our results demonstrated that canopy LUE was related both to the canopy photosynthesis efficiency and air temperature (R 2?=?0.5634). Therefore, the MODIS LST product was incorporated as a surrogate for monitoring of environmental stresses as the observed relationship between LST and both air temperature (R 2?=?0.8828) and vapour pressure deficit (VPD) (R 2?=?0.6887). The new model in terms of (VI)?×?(Scaled (LST)) provided improved estimates of LUE estimation with R 2 of 0.7349, 0.7561 and 0.7879 for NDVI, EVI2 and SAVI, respectively. The results will be useful for the development of future LUE models based entirely on remote-sensing observations. 相似文献

We examined the relationship between four vegetation indices and tree canopy phenology in an evergreen coniferous forest in Japan based on observations made using a spectral radiometer and a digital camera at a daily time step during a 4 year period. The colour of the canopy surface of Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) changed from yellowish-green to whitish-green from late May to July and turned reddish-green in winter. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), enhanced vegetation index (EVI) and plant area index (PAI) showed no seasonality. In contrast, the green–red ratio vegetation index (GRVI) increased from March to June and then decreased gradually from July to December, resulting in a bell-shaped curve. GRVI revealed seasonal changes in the colour of the canopy surface. GRVI correlated more positively with the evaluated maximum photosynthetic rate for the whole forest canopy, A max, than did NDVI or EVI. These results suggest the possibility that GRVI is more useful than NDVI and EVI for capturing seasonal changes in photosynthetic capacity, as the green and red reflectances are strongly influenced by changes in leaf pigments in this type of forest. 相似文献

Boreal forests in the northern hemisphere provide important sinks for storing carbon dioxide (CO2). However, the size and distribution of these sinks remain uncertain. In particular, many remote-sensing models show a strong bias in the simulation of carbon fluxes for evergreen needleleaf forest. The objective of this study is to improve these predictive models for accurately quantifying temporal changes in the net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of conifer-dominated forest solely based on satellite remote sensing, including the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Terra daytime land-surface temperature (LST), night-time LST′, enhanced vegetation index (EVI), land–surface water index (LSWI), fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FPAR), and leaf area index (LAI). Considering that the component fluxes, gross primary production (GPP), and ecosystem respiration (Re), are strongly influenced by vegetation phenology, seasonality information was extracted from time-series MODIS EVI data based on non-linear least-squares fits of asymmetric Gaussian model functions with a software package for analysing the time-series of satellite sensor data (TIMESAT). The results indicated that models directly incorporating phenological information failed to improve their performance for temperate deciduous forest. Instead, three methods to retrieve the component fluxes – GPP and Re – including direct estimates, models incorporating the phenological information, and models developed based on the threshold value (LST 273 K), were explored respectively. All methods improved NEE estimates markedly and models developed based on the threshold value performed best, and provided a future framework for accurate remote sensing of NEE in evergreen forest. 相似文献

In remote sensing analyses of water colour, suspended particle size is an important optical parameter that also plays an important role in inland and coastal biogeochemical processes. Knowledge of the suspended particle size and its changes in month and area can be used to assess the contributions by suspended particulate matter to backscatter coefficient, particle sinking, and carbon sequestration under lake water. In this study, in situ samples collected in the summer and winter from Hongze Lake (HZL), 2016, were used to develop an empirical model to estimate the median diameter (DV50) of suspended particle sizes. The spatial distributions of DV50 were derived using 37 WFV (Wide Field Viewer) images of GF-1 (GaoFen-1), China, and the fluctuational diversification and the potential influencing factors were discussed. Several crucial findings can be drawn: (1) the empirical band ratio algorithm Rrs,green: Rrs,red was suitable for DV50 estimation with a coefficient of determination (R2) of approximately 0.7 for the modelling data. In addition, the validation data showed that the MAPE (mean absolute percentage error) is below 34%, the RMSE (root mean square error) is less than 4.2 μm, and the Mean ratio is close to 1; (2) the average median particle size shows an increasing trend from the northeast of the lake (NE) to Chengzi Lake (CZL) and the wetland (WL) in HZL from 2015 to 2016; (3) the DV50 of HZL is higher in summer than in the other seasons during the study period; (4) the fluctuation in hydrological factors, especially the monthly water discharge and flow, might be the driving force behind the seasonal variations in DV50 of HZL; and (5) channel transportation reduced DV50, and the reduced amplitude might be more than 22%. 相似文献

Landscapes containing differing amounts of ecological disturbance provide an excellent opportunity to validate and better understand the emerging Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) vegetation products. Four sites, including 1‐year post‐fire coniferous, 13‐year post‐fire deciduous, 24‐year post‐fire deciduous, and >100 year old post‐fire coniferous forests, were selected to serve as a post‐fire chronosequence in the central Siberian region of Krasnoyarsk (57.3°N, 91.6°E) with which to study the MODIS leaf area index (LAI) and vegetation index (VI) products. The collection 4 MODIS LAI product correctly represented the summer site phenologies, but significantly underestimated the LAI value of the >100 year old coniferous forest during the November to April time period. Landsat 7‐derived enhanced vegetation index (EVI) performed better than normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to separate the deciduous and conifer forests, and both indices contained significant correlation with field‐derived LAI values at coniferous forest sites (r 2 = 0.61 and r 2 = 0.69, respectively). The reduced simple ratio (RSR) markedly improved LAI prediction from satellite measurements (r 2 = 0.89) relative to NDVI and EVI. LAI estimates derived from ETM+ images were scaled up to evaluate the 1 km resolution MODIS LAI product; from this analysis MODIS LAI overestimated values in the low LAI deciduous forests (where LAI<5) and underestimated values in the high LAI conifer forests (where LAI>6). Our results indicate that further research on the MODIS LAI product is warranted to better understand and improve remote LAI quantification in disturbed forest landscapes over the course of the year. 相似文献

Leaf area index (LAI) is a key vegetation biophysical parameter and is extensively used in modelling of phenology, primary production, light interception, evapotranspiration, carbon, and nitrogen dynamics. In the present study, we attempt to spatially characterize LAI for natural forests of Western Ghats India, using ground based and Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) sensor satellite data. For this, 41 ground-based LAI measurements were carried out across a gradient of tropical forest types, viz. dry, moist, and evergreen forests using LAI-2200 plant canopy analyser, during the month of March 2015. Initially, measured LAI values were regressed with 15 spectral variables, including nine spectral vegetation indices (SVIs) and six Landsat-8 surface reflectance (ρ) variables using univariate correlation analysis. Results showed that the red (ρred), near-infrared (ρNIR), shortwave infrared (ρSWIR1, ρSWIR2) reflectance bands (R2 > 0.6), and all SVIs (R2 > 0.7) except simple ratio (SR) have the highest and second highest coefficient of determination with ground-measured LAI. In the second step, to select significant (high R2, low root mean square error (RMSE), and p-level < 0.05) SVIs to determine the best representative model, stepwise multiple linear regression (SMLR) was implemented. The results indicate that the SMLR model predicted LAI with better coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.83, RMSE = 0.78) using normalized difference vegetation index, enhanced vegetation index, and soil-adjusted vegetation index variables compared to the univariate approach. The predicted SMLR model was used to estimate a spatial map of LAI. It is desirable to evaluate the stability and potentiality of regional LAI models in natural forest ecosystems against the operationally accepted Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) global LAI product. To do this, the Landsat-8 pixel-based LAI map was resampled to 1 km resolution and compared with the MODIS derived LAI map. Results suggested that Landsat-8 OLI-based VIs provide significant LAI maps at moderate resolution (30 m) as well as coarse resolution (1 km) for regional climate models. 相似文献

A field experiment with wheat was conducted with four different nitrogen and four different water stress levels, and hyperspectral reflectances in the 350–2500 nm range were recorded at six crop phenostages for two years (2009–2010 and 2010–2011). Thirty-two hyperspectral indices were determined using the first-year reflectance data. Plant nitrogen (N) status, characterized by leaf nitrogen content (LNC) and plant nitrogen accumulation (PNA), showed the highest R 2 with the spectral indices at the booting stage. The best five predictive equations for LNC were based on the green normalized difference vegetation index (GNDVI), normalized difference chlorophyll index (NDCI), normalized difference705 (ND705) index, ratio index-1dB (RI-1dB) and Vogelman index a (VOGa). Their validation using the second-year data showed high R 2 (>0.80) and ratio of performance to deviation (RPD; >2.25) and low root mean square error (RMSE; <0.24) and relative error (<10%). For PNA, five predictive equations with simple ratio pigment index (SRPI), photochemical reflectance index (PRI), modified simple ratio705 (mSR705), modified normalized difference705 (mND705) and normalized pigment chlorophyll index (NPCI) as predicting indices yielded the best relations with high R 2 > 0.80. The corresponding RMSE and RE of these ranged from 1.39 to 1.13 and from 24.5% to 33.3%, respectively. Although the predicted values show good agreement with the observed values, the prediction of LNC is more accurate than PNA, as indicated by higher RMSE and very high RE for the latter. Hence, the plant nitrogen stress of wheat can be accurately assessed through the prediction of LNC based on the five identified reflectance indices at the booting stage. 相似文献

Studies using satellite sensor-derived data as input to models for CO2 exchange show promising results for closed forest stands. There is a need for extending this approach to other land cover types, in order to carry out large-scale monitoring of CO2 exchange. In this study, three years of eddy covariance data from two peatlands in Sweden were averaged for 16-day composite periods and related to data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and modeled photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD). Noise in the time series of MODIS 250 m vegetation indices was reduced by using double logistic curve fits. Smoothed normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) showed saturation during summertime, and the enhanced vegetation index (EVI) generally gave better results in explaining gross primary productivity (GPP). The strong linear relationships found between GPP and the product of EVI and modeled PPFD (R2 = 0.85 and 0.76) were only slightly stronger than for the product of EVI and MODIS daytime 1 km land surface temperature (LST) (R2 = 0.84 and 0.71). One probable reason for these results is that several controls on GPP were related to both modeled PPFD and daytime LST. Since ecosystem respiration (ER) was largely explained by diurnal LST in exponential relationships (R2 = 0.89 and 0.83), net ecosystem exchange (NEE) was directly related to diurnal LST in combination with the product of EVI and modeled PPFD in multiple exponential regressions (R2 = 0.81 and 0.73). Even though the R2 values were somewhat weaker for NEE, compared to GPP and ER, the RMSE values were much lower than if NEE would have been estimated as the sum of GPP and ER. The overall conclusion of this study is that regression models driven by satellite sensor-derived data and modeled PPFD can be used to estimate CO2 fluxes in peatlands. 相似文献

We evaluate the modelling of carbon fluxes from eddy covariance (EC) tower observations in different water-limited land-cover/land-use (LCLU) and biome types in semi-arid Inner Mongolia, China. The vegetation photosynthesis model (VPM) and modified VPM (MVPM), driven by the enhanced vegetation index (EVI) and land-surface water index (LSWI), which were derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) surface-reflectance product (MOD09A1), were used to model and validate the temporal changes in gross primary production (GPP) from the EC towers during the 2006 and 2007 growing seasons. The annual GPP predicted by the VPM model (GPPVPM) was predicted reasonably well in 2006 and 2007 at the cropland (coefficient of determination, R 2 = 0.67 and 0.71, for 2006 and 2007, respectively) and typical steppe (R 2 = 0.80 and 0.73) sites. The predictive power of the VPM model varied in the desert steppe, which includes an irrigated poplar stand (R 2 = 0.74 and 0.68) and shrubland (R 2 = 0.31 and 0.49) sites. The comparison between GPP obtained from the eddy covariance tower (GPPtower) and GPP obtained from MVPM (GPPMVPM) (predicted GPP) showed good agreement for the typical steppe site of Xilinhaote (R 2 = 0.84 and 0.70 in 2006 and 2007, respectively) and for the Duolun steppe site (R 2 = 0.63) and cropland site (R 2 = 0.63) in 2007. The predictive power of the MVPM model decreased slightly in the desert steppe at the irrigated poplar stand (R 2 = 0.56 and 0.47 in 2006 and 2007 respectively) and the shrubland (R 2 = 0.20 and 0.41). The results of this study demonstrate the feasibility of modelling GPP from EC towers in semi-arid regions. 相似文献

Nature reserve establishment can lead to conflict with some stakeholders. Zoning management is useful to mitigate against the conflict between human development and nature reserves, and a nature reserve can be divided into three zones: the core zone, buffer zone, and experimental zone. So far, how to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of zoning management in nature reserves is a problem faced by remote sensing scientists and ecologists. Net primary productivity (NPP) is a key indicator which can be used to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of zoning management in nature reserves. However, to date there has been no research on the effectiveness of zoning management on NPP, and the estimation of NPP in the Tianmu Mountain Nature Reserve also has not been studied. Based on remote sensing data and in situ measurements, the Carnegie–Ames–Stanford approach (CASA) model was used to estimate NPP in the Tianmu Mountain Nature Reserve during the period 1984–2014. We used the observed NPP to verify the simulated NPP, and the results show that the simulated NPP was consistent with the observed NPP (R2 ≥ 0.85, p ≤ 0.0002, RMSE = 52.62 g C m?2 year?1, where R2 represents coefficient of determination, p represents statistical significance, and RMSE represents root mean square error). This means that the CASA model is suitable for NPP estimation in the Tianmu Mountain Nature Reserve. The results also indicate that NPP showed an increasing trend during the period 1984–2014, and the increase over the whole period was 6.66%. The total of the annual averaged NPP was 3.07 × 1010 g C year?1, while the annual averaged NPP per unit area was 708 g C m?2 year?1. The largest averaged annual NPP per unit appeared in the core zone (720 g C m?2 year?1), followed by the buffer zone (711 g C m?2 year?1), with the experimental zone having the smallest averaged annual NPP per unit (706 g C m?2 year?1). At the p < 0.1 level, there was no region where NPP had decreased significantly in the core zone and buffer zone, and the area of the regions where NPP had decreased significantly in the experimental zone was 8.04 ha. At the p < 0.05 level, there was no area where NPP had decreased significantly in the three zones of the Tianmu Mountain Nature Reserve. The results show that the zoning management on NPP was effective in the Tianmu Mountain Nature Reserve. 相似文献

The carbon use efficiency (CUE) of a forest, calculated as the ratio of net primary productivity (NPP) to gross primary productivity (GPP), measures how efficiently a forest sequesters atmospheric carbon. Some prior research has suggested that CUE varies with environmental conditions, while other suggests that CUE is constant. Research using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data has indicated a variable CUE, but those results are suspected because MODIS NPP data have not been well validated.We tested two questions. First, whether MODIS CUE is constant or whether it varies by forest type, climate, and geographic factors across the eastern USA. Second, whether those results occur when field-based NPP data are employed. We used MODIS model-based estimates of GPP and NPP, and forest inventory and anlaysis (FIA) field-based estimates of NPP data. We calculated two estimates of CUE for forest in 390 km2 hexagons: (1) MODIS CUE as MODIS NPP divided by MODIS GPP and (2) F/M ZCUE as the standardized difference between FIA NPP and MODIS GPP.MODIS CUE and F/M ZCUE both varied similarly and significantly in relation to forest type, and climatic and geographic factors, strongly supporting a variable rather than a constant CUE. The CUE was significantly higher in deciduous than in mixed and evergreen forests. Regression models indicated that CUE decreased with increases in temperature and precipitation and increased with latitude and altitude. The similar trends in MODIS CUE and F/M ZCUE support the use of the more easily obtained MODIS CUE. 相似文献

Spectral reflectance data were obtained for winter wheat over a full growing season. Four irrigation treatments, applied to six genotypes, provided a variety of crop growth conditions. Leaf area index, green ground cover, total wet and total dry phytomass, and leaf phytomass measurements were taken monthly during the winter and biweekly during the spring. Reflectance measurements were made with a radiometer having three visible, two near-IR and two mid-IR bands. Vegetation indices, calculated from various band combinations, were linearly related to the five plant parameters. Of the 1240 vegetation indices formed, ratio indices had the higher (0.79–0.86) coefficients of determination (r2) than N-space greenness (0.61–0.81) when related to the plant parameters. The commonly used IR/red ratio produced considerably lower r2 values than many of the other ratio indices. The mid-IR bands appeared more frequently in the ratio indices than in the greenness indices. The results show the relative merits of the seven bands, when combined into vegetation indices, to estimate various plant parameters. 相似文献
