Light Use Efficiency Model

Abstract. Non-stationary and non-linear dynamic time series analysis tools are applied to multi-annual eddy covariance and micrometeorological data from 44 FLUXNET sites to derive a light use efficiency model for gross primary production on a daily basis. The extracted typical behaviour of the canopies in response to meteorological forcing leads to a model formulation allowing for a variable influence of the environmental drivers temperature and moisture availability modulating the light use efficiency. Thereby, the model is applicable to a broad range of vegetation types and climatic conditions. The proposed model explains large proportions of the variation of the gross carbon uptake at the study sites while the optimized set of six parameters is well defined. With the parameters showing explainable and meaningful relations to site-specific environmental conditions, the model has the potential to serve as basis for general regionalization strategies for large scale carbon flux predictions.

Light Use Efficiency Model

Abstract. Non-stationary and non-linear dynamic time series analysis tools are applied to multi-annual eddy covariance and micrometeorological data from 45 FLUXNET sites to derive a light use efficiency model on a daily basis. The extracted typical behaviour of the canopies in response to meteorological forcing leads to a model formulation allowing a variable influence of the model parameters modulating the light use efficiency. Thereby, the model is applicable to a broad range of vegetation types and climatic conditions. The proposed model explains large proportions of the variation of the gross carbon uptake at the study sites while the optimized set of six parameters is well defined. With the parameters showing explainable and meaningful relations to site-specific environmental conditions, the model has the potential to serve as basis for general regionalization strategies for large scale carbon flux predictions.

We estimate global terrestrial gross primary production (GPP) based on models that use satellite data within a simplified light-use efficiency framework that does not rely upon other meteorological inputs. Satellite-based geometry-adjusted reflectances are from the MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and provide information about vegetation structure and chlorophyll content at both high temporal (daily to monthly) and spatial (∼1 km) resolution. We use satellite-derived solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) to identify regions of high productivity crops and also evaluate the use of downscaled SIF to estimate GPP. We calibrate a set of our satellite-based models with GPP estimates from a subset of distributed eddy covariance flux towers (FLUXNET 2015). The results of the trained models are evaluated using an independent subset of FLUXNET 2015 GPP data. We show that variations in light-use efficiency (LUE) with incident PAR are important and can be easily incorporated into the models. Unlike many LUE-based models, our satellite-based GPP estimates do not use an explicit parameterization of LUE that reduces its value from the potential maximum under limiting conditions such as temperature and water stress. Even without the parameterized downward regulation, our simplified models are shown to perform as well as or better than state-of-the-art satellite data-driven products that incorporate such parameterizations. A significant fraction of both spatial and temporal variability in GPP across plant functional types can be accounted for using our satellite-based models. Our results provide an annual GPP value of ∼140 Pg C year - 1 for 2007 that is within the range of a compilation of observation-based, model, and hybrid results, but is higher than some previous satellite observation-based estimates.
