Evaluation of leaf area index estimated from medium spatial resolution remote sensing data in a broadleaf deciduous forest in southern England, UK
No full textLeaf area index (LAI) is a key biophysical variable influencing land surface fluxes. Different algorithms have been developed to estimate LAI from remote sensing data. This prompts the need for an evaluation of their comparability and performance. We present an evaluation of the comparability of four products (i.e., MODIS (MOD15A2), NNMERIS, CYCLOPES, and GLOBCARBON) and their performance against in situ LAI for an entire growing season in a broadleaf deciduous forest. All the LAI products detected the phenological trend of this biome reasonably accurately, albeit with differences in absolute values. The MODIS LAI was higher than the in situ LAI throughout the growing season whereas the GLOBCARBON LAI was higher in the summer months. The NN-MERIS was closest to the in situ measurements whereas the CYCLOPES product was lower than the in situ measurements. The NN-MERIS and CYCLOPES LAI were closely matched (RMSE = 0.45), whereas MODIS and CYCLOPES LAI were the most divergent (RMSE = 1.57). All the algorithms were significantly different (p < 0.05) indicating a need for more efforts to harmonize these algorithms. Finally, the spatial consistency between the NN-MERIS LAI and in situ LAI revealed a season dependency trend. Better spatial agreement was observed during the summer season as opposed to early spring and autumn seasons.</p

Developing a diagnostic model for estimating terrestrial vegetation gross primary productivity using the photosynthetic quantum yield and Earth Observation data
No full textThis article develops a new carbon exchange diagnostic model [i.e. Southampton CARbon Flux (SCARF) model] for estimating daily gross primary productivity (GPP). The model exploits the maximum quantum yields of two key photosynthetic pathways (i.e. C3 and C4) to estimate the conversion of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation into GPP. Furthermore, this is the first model to use only the fraction of photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by photosynthetic elements of the canopy (i.e. FAPARps) rather than total canopy, to predict GPP. The GPP predicted by the SCARF model was comparable to in situ GPP measurements (R2 > 0.7) in most of the evaluated biomes. Overall, the SCARF model predicted high GPP in regions dominated by forests and croplands, and low GPP in shrublands and dry-grasslands across USA and Europe. The spatial distribution of GPP from the SCARF model over Europe and conterminous USA was comparable to those from the MOD17 GPP product except in regions dominated by croplands. The SCARF model GPP predictions were positively correlated (R2 > 0.5) to climatic and biophysical input variables indicating its sensitivity to factors controlling vegetation productivity. The new model has three advantages, first, it prescribes only two quantum yield terms rather than species specific light use efficiency terms; second, it uses only the fraction of PAR absorbed by photosynthetic elements of the canopy (FAPARps) hence capturing the actual PAR used in photosynthesis; and third, it does not need a detailed land cover map that is a major source of uncertainty in most remote sensing based GPP models. The Sentinel satellites planned for launch in 2014 by the European Space Agency have adequate spectral channels to derive FAPARps at relatively high spatial resolution (20 m). This provides a unique opportunity to produce global GPP operationally using the Southampton CARbon Flux (SCARF) model at high spatial resolution
