Abstract

Gross Primary Production (GPP) is the sum of carbon absorbed by plant canopy. It is a key measurement of carbon mass flux in carbon cycle studies. Remote sensing based light use efficiency model is a widely used method to estimate regional GPP. In this study, MODIS-PSN was used to estimate GPP in Heihe River Basin. In order to better the model accuracy, maximum light use efficiency (ε0) in MODIS-PSN is estimated using local observed carbon flux data and meteorological data. After adjustment of parameter ε0, MODIS-PSN can correctly estimate GPP for major vegetation type in the Heihe River Basin. Then, yearly GPP over Heihe River Basin was estimated. The results indicated that about 1.4*10¹³g carbon enter terrestrial ecosystem through vegetation photosynthesis in the Heihe River Basin one year. In contrast, there is just 5.73*10₁₃g carbon enter terrestrial ecosystem according to the standard MODIS GPP product, which is greatly underestimated GPP in the Heihe River Bain.
