Abstract
Light use efficiency (LUE) models, along with satellite-based vegetation maps and climatic reanalysis products as drivers, are effective tools for estimating large-scale gross primary productivity (GPP). However, the climate-induced uncertainty in LUE-based GPP remains poorly understood, particularly the temporal scaling uncertainty from ignored climatic fluctuations. Here, two 1-hourly reanalysis products, along with site-based observations, were employed to drive a two-leaf LUE model at 194 eddy-covariance (EC) sites. The observation-driven and reanalysis-driven GPP at the 1-hourly resolution were evaluated against EC GPP to illustrate the uncertainty from reanalysis products, with mean absolute deviation (MAD) and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) as criterion. Moreover, the climate-induced temporal scaling uncertainty was characterized by comparing distributed GPP (modeled with 1-hourly resolution climatic drivers) and lumped GPP (modeled with 6-hourly resolution climatic drivers). At the 1-hourly resolution, results demonstrated that the reanalysis-driven GPP showed a weaker relationship with EC GPP (MAD = 0.14 gC m−2h−1, NSE = 0.48) than the observation-driven GPP (MAD = 0.12 gC m−2h−1, NSE = 0.60), confirming the nonnegligible climate-induced uncertainty from reanalysis products. Additionally, the climate-induced uncertainty arising from gridded radiation was found to be significantly larger than that associated with temperature and vapor pressure deficit (VPD). At the 6-hourly resolution, both the observation-driven and reanalysis-driven lumped GPP exhibited a lower relationship with EC GPP (MAD = 0.63 gC m−26h−1, NSE = 0.54) than the corresponding distributed GPP (MAD = 0.57 gC m−26h−1, NSE = 0.59), demonstrating that the climate-induced temporal scaling uncertainty in 6-hourly GPP estimates was significantly apparent. This study emphasizes the imperative to refine reanalysis products for more precise capture of short-term fluctuations and to reduce scaling uncertainties in coarse temporal resolution GPP estimates.
期刊介绍:
JGR-Biogeosciences focuses on biogeosciences of the Earth system in the past, present, and future and the extension of this research to planetary studies. The emerging field of biogeosciences spans the intellectual interface between biology and the geosciences and attempts to understand the functions of the Earth system across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Studies in biogeosciences may use multiple lines of evidence drawn from diverse fields to gain a holistic understanding of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems and extreme environments. Specific topics within the scope of the section include process-based theoretical, experimental, and field studies of biogeochemistry, biogeophysics, atmosphere-, land-, and ocean-ecosystem interactions, biomineralization, life in extreme environments, astrobiology, microbial processes, geomicrobiology, and evolutionary geobiology
