Spatiotemporal dynamics in assimilated-LAI phenology and its impact on subtropical bamboo forest productivity

Phenology has a significant effect on forest growth and directly affects the forest ecosystem carbon cycle. Bamboo forests possess strong carbon sequestration capacities. However, it is not clear whether variations in phenology increase or decrease carbon uptake and storage in subtropical bamboo for...

description Phenology has a significant effect on forest growth and directly affects the forest ecosystem carbon cycle. Bamboo forests possess strong carbon sequestration capacities. However, it is not clear whether variations in phenology increase or decrease carbon uptake and storage in subtropical bamboo forests. We first extracted the length of the growing season (LOS) by coupling a data assimilation algorithm and MODIS leaf area index (LAI) data, and then the LOS was used to drive the integrated terrestrial ecosystem carbon-budget (InTEC) model to simulate gross primary productivity (GPP) and net ecosystem productivity (NEP) in Zhejiang Province from 2001 to 2017. Our results showed that the LOS estimation using the assimilated LAI time series was more reliable than that of the MODIS LAI and enhanced vegetation index (EVI). The annual average LOS increased on average by 0.76 day yr−1 from 2001 to 2017. The GPP and NEP simulations based on the LAI assimilation-based phenology indicated that bamboo forest ecosystems possess strong carbon sequestration capacities and act as carbon sinks, with mean annual GPP and NEP values of 434.74 ± 257.93 g C m−2 yr−1 and 141.42 ± 82.54 g C m−2 yr−1, respectively, during 2001–2017. An increase of one day in the regional annual LOS increases the annual average GPP and NEP by 1.34 g C m−2 yr−1 and 0.75 g C m−2 yr−1, respectively. Moreover, the interannual variation of NEP was significantly correlated with precipitation and temperature, whereas GPP was not. Our results demonstrated that phenology extraction based on LAI data assimilation should play an important role in the simulation of bamboo forest productivity with ecological process models. The variation in phenology induced by climate change can strengthen the bamboo forest carbon sink, which is of great significance for subtropical forests coping with climate change in the future.
