description Understanding the global ecosystem carbon cycle requires a quantitative estimation of terrestrial gross primary production (GPP). Although most existing GPP estimates can accurately reflect the spatial distribution, interannual trends and even seasonal cycles of GPP under average conditions to some extent, the GPP estimates of different models under extreme climate conditions are still unsatisfactory. In this study, based on the random forest algorithm, we integrated the multimodel GPP simulation results published by the Multiscale Synthesis and Terrestrial Model Intercomparison Project, the FLUXNET flux-site-observed GPP, the standardized precipitation index (SPI) and the standardized temperature index (STI) to generate a set of global GPP time-series data products from 2001 to 2010. The new GPP product was named DFRF-GPP, referring to the GPP generated by data fusion based on random forest. The quality of DFRF-GPP was evaluated by comparison with current commonly used GPP datasets and GPP observations at FLUXNET flux sites. The results showed that DFRF-GPP is in great agreement with other GPP products and can reproduce the spatial and temporal patterns and interannual trends of global GPP, with optimal performance in regions such as those north of 30° in the Northern Hemisphere where there are more FLUXNET flux sites. DFRF-GPP has higher accuracy and excellent performance on drought and high-temperature samples, with higher sensitivity to drought and high temperature. This study not only provides a set of time-series products of global gross primary production but also provides a convenient and practical solution for enhancing the applicability of GPP estimation products in large-scale extreme climate studies.
