Temporal and Spatial Variation of Vegetation Phenology in Temperate China and Its Impact on Gross Primary Productivity

Land surface phenology is defined as the seasonal timing of life cycle events of vegetated land surface on local or global scale.Most studies of vegetation phenology in China’s temperate zone are focused on single vegetation type in certain area，the studies about long-time vegetation phenology on large scale is rare.The influence of vegetation phenology on GPP(gross primary productivity) remains to be determined.Using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS) MCD12Q2 data from 2001 to 2014，start of growing season(SOS)，end of growing season(EOS) and length of growing season(LOS) in temperate China(>30°N) are obtained.GPP from MODIS MOD17A3 data for the same period is also obtained.Using regression analysis and correlation analysis methods，spatial and temporal patterns of SOS，EOS and LOS are analyzed.The impacts of SOS，EOS and LOS on interannual variability of GPP are also analyzed.Results show that the average and standard deviation of SOS，EOS and LOS from 2001 to 2014 are 121±10，270±12 and 153±12 days，respectively.The trend of earlier SOS，delayed EOS and increased LOS are not significant(p>0.05)，but LOS shows positively correlated to GPP.The spatial distribution of annual average LOS and GPP from 2001 to 2014 presents an increase trend from northwest to southeast.Regions with significant interannual variation(p<0.05) of SOS，EOS and LOS are 13%，21% and 13.2%，respectively.Regions of significant correlation(p<0.05) of SOS，EOS and LOS to GPP account for 8.31%，9.33% and 8.72% of the study area.GPP has mainly medium correlations(p<0.05，0.5<|r|<0.8) to SOS，EOS and LOS.     

基于高时空分辨率融合影像的红树林总初级生产力遥感估算

红树林是热带与亚热带地区潮间带具备高植被生产力和高储碳量的滨海湿地植被类型,在维系全球碳平衡过程中扮演着重要的角色。目前通量站点尺度的红树林生产力研究已取得了一定的进展,然而由于受到遥感影像时空分辨率和红树林斑块分布的限制,区域尺度红树林总初级生产力（Gross Primary Production,GPP）估算仍少有涉及。基于影像融合算法获得的高时空分辨率植被指数数据集,结合红树林通量观测数据开展光能利用率模型的参数估计和模型验证研究,实现了区域尺度的红树林GPP估算,获取了一套2012年广东省高桥红树林GPP高时空分辨率数据集。数据验证得到的决定系数R² = 0.64,较现有的MOD17A2和GLASS产品GPP估算精度提高了48.9%。实验结果显示：高桥红树林最大光能利用率为3.07 g C MJ^-1,研究区内全年GPP均值为1 915.4 g C m^-2 a^-1。红树林季节平均GPP夏、秋季大于春、冬季。该方法和估算数据可为区域尺度红树林生产力研究和红树林保护提供高精度数据支持。
