Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of ecology, and particularly relates to a method and system for estimating aboveground and underground net primary productivity of a terrestrial ecosystem. BACKGROUND

[0002] The net primary productivity (NPP) of vegetation in a terrestrial ecosystem refers to the net total amount of organic matter accumulated by vegetation through photosynthesis, and is one of important components of global terrestrial carbon cycle. In-depth understanding of the dynamic evolution process of the net primary productivity of vegetation can provide scientific basis and effective support for monitoring regional carbon budget, evaluating ecosystem function and formulating carbon management strategies. As an important link of the terrestrial carbon cycle, accurate estimation of the productivity process of vegetation is a key to predicting the carbon peak and carbon neutralization level under the condition of climate change, is a prerequisite and basis for reasonably evaluating regional carbon budget, and is a big focus of current research on carbon cycle.

[0003] In recent decades, the emergence of statistical models, remote sensing technologies and terrestrial ecosystem models has promoted significant progress in the quantification of global NPP. These methods mainly rely on the empirical relationship between NPP and predicted variables, or the theoretical assumption of photosynthesis process. However, there is a great difference in the NPP estimated by these models, and there is considerable uncertainty. In addition, the underground part of net productivity (BNPP) is the most uncertain part of global carbon cycle, but due to the limitations of observation difficulty and high cost, the exploration of it is still insufficient at present.

[0011] Step 4, estimate the belowground net primary productivity simulation value based on the aboveground and belowground net primary productivity distribution ratio and the aboveground net primary productivity simulation value obtained in step 2.

[0012] Further, it further includes step 5: test the simulation accuracy of the aboveground net primary productivity simulation value and the belowground net primary productivity simulation value.

[0013] Further, the integrated rate framework parameters in step 2 are:

[0014]

[0015]

[0016] wherein, r is the integrated resource-limited rate of vegetation photosynthesis, ω i is the sensitivity of vegetation to different resource availabilities, x i is the normalized resource availability, wherein i represents different resource types, x 1 is the normalized energy availability, n is the total number of resource types.

[0022] ​​Further, the step 5 selects the Nash efficiency coefficient to test the simulation accuracy of the simulated aboveground net primary productivity and the simulated belowground net primary productivity.
