Spatial modelling of photosynthesis for a boreal mixedwood forest by integrating micrometeorological,lidar and hyperspectral remote sensing data

The adaptation of a national/continental-scale model of carbon uptake to the local-scale using highly detailed airborne discrete lidar and hyperspectral data was investigated at a boreal forest mixedwood site in northern Ontario. Spatially explicit maps of canopy chlorophyll concentration and the fraction of photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by the canopy (FPAR) under direct and diffuse radiative conditions were developed for five time periods in 2004 (i.e., winter (January 1–May 31), leaf-out (June 1–20), summer (June 21–July 31 and August 1–31) and senescence (September 1–30)). The maps were used in conjunction with meteorological measurements, such as incident total and diffuse PAR, global solar radiation, and air temperature, taken on a flux tower which is located at the center of the study.Distinct spatial patterns in FPAR, a result of changes in canopy chlorophyll concentration, are increasingly evident throughout the season because of the variation in species groupings within the 1-km radius surrounding the flux tower. In general, the model shows a good correlation to flux-tower-measured gross ecosystem productivity (GEP) (r² = 0.70 for 10-day averages throughout the year), with the largest deviations occurring in June–July. Species-level data shows the influence of a large homogenous patch of black spruce on the tower measured GEP and demonstrates the contribution of white birch, by far the most dominant species, to the total GEP for the area.

Remote estimation of gross primary production in wheat using chlorophyll-related vegetation indices

A number of recent studies have focused on estimating gross primary production (GPP) using vegetation indices (VIs). In this paper, GPP is retrieved as a product of incident light use efficiency (LUE), defined as GPP/PAR, and the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). As a good correlation is found between canopy chlorophyll content and incident LUE for six types of wheat canopy (R² = 0.87, n = 24), indices aimed for chlorophyll assessment can be used as an indicator of incident LUE and the product of chlorophyll indices and PAR will be a proxy of GPP. In a field experiment, we investigated four canopy chlorophyll content related indices (Red edge Normalized Difference Vegetation Index [Red Edge NDVI], modified Chlorophyll Absorption Ratio Index [MCARI₇₁₀], Red Edge Chlorophyll Index [CI_{red edge}] and the MERIS Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index [MTCI]) for GPP estimation during the growth cycle of wheat. These indices are validated for leaf and canopy chlorophyll estimation with ground truth data of canopy chlorophyll content. With ground truth data, a strong correlation is observed for canopy chlorophyll estimation with correlation coefficients R² of 0.79, 0.84, 0.85 and 0.87 for Red Edge NDVI, MCARI₇₁₀, CI_{red edge} and MTCI, respectively (n = 24). As evidence of the existence of a relationship between canopy chlorophyll and GPP/PAR, these indices are shown to be a good proxy of GPP/PAR with R² ranging from 0.70 for Red Edge NDVI and 0.75 for MTCI (n = 240). Remote estimation of GPP from canopy chlorophyll content × PAR is proved to be relatively successful (R² of 0.47, 0.53, 0.65 and 0.66 for Red edge NDVI, MCARI₇₁₀, CI_{red edge} and MTCI respectively, n = 240). These results open up a new possibility to estimate GPP and should inspire new models for remote sensing of GPP.     

Spatial variability of photosynthetically active radiation in European beech and Norway spruce

The vertical and horizontal variability of solar radiation within a mature European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.)-Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst) mixed stand in Southern Germany is investigated. A large dataset with more than one million spectral measurements of photon fluence rates at six vertical levels within the stand is analyzed with respect to tree species, meteorological sky conditions, and the influence of solar elevation angle on canopy penetration. Irradiance probability density functions of the photosynthetically active waveband are used to describe the three-dimensional radiation field. For a quantification of umbra, penumbra, and sunfleck frequencies, in-canopy fractions of photon fluence rates within the photosynthetically active waveband are investigated. Different phenological stages of beech and their effects on the in-canopy light climate are compared. The results show that during overcast conditions (OVC) fractions of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) are higher at all canopy levels than during clear sky (CS) conditions due to their exclusively diffuse character. The lowest median PAR level of less than 1% of above-canopy PAR can be observed in the shade crown of beech and at ground level. More PAR can penetrate the canopy at a higher solar elevation under CS conditions. This effect is more pronounced for spruce than for beech due to the conical crown shape of the conifers that allows photons from higher angles to enter the gaps inbetween trees in contrast to the more homogeneously closed beech canopy. Solar elevation is not an important factor at uniformly overcast conditions. Differences in the vertical distribution of umbra and penumbra can be detected when comparing species or different sky conditions. The frequency of sunflecks differs more by species and by the vertical position within the canopy than by sky condition.

我国4种主要苹果树形冠层结构和辐射三维分布比较研究

树体结构和辐射分布是影响果树冠层光合生产力和果实产量品质的主要因素。本文以"富士"苹果(Malus domestica Borkh.cv.‘Fuji’)为试材,采用田间调查方法,系统研究了我国苹果生产中4种主要树形的树体结构参数以及叶面积密度(LAD)和光合有效辐射(PAR)的三维分布特征。结果表明,开心形树冠的枝量(894×103·hm-2)和叶面积指数(LAI,2.53)最小,其他3种树形中小冠疏层形分别为2 280×103·hm-2、4.14,疏散分层形分别为2 119×103·hm-2、3.98,纺锤形分别为2 190×103·hm-2、3.88。不同树形LAD三维分布各不相同,小冠疏层形苹果树的叶片主要分布在树冠的0.5~1.5 m之间,疏散分层形和纺锤形主要分布在0.5~2.0 m之间,开心形主要分布在1.0~2.0 m之间。通过对不同树形LAD和PAR三维分布比较发现,每种树形的PAR都随树冠深度的增加而降低,在树冠中部LAD最大部位辐射消减最快,PAR的三维分布主要与叶片分布有关。其中开心形树冠的平均PAR最高,分布最均匀。4种树冠内叶片得到的平均相对PAR小冠疏层形为24.85%,疏散分层形为28.84%,纺锤形为27.71%,开心形为37.28%。开心形树冠内低光区的叶片所占比例只有35%,其他树形都超过50%。研究表明,不同相对PAR范围内的叶片比例能够更好地反映果树冠层的辐射情况,开心形树冠在辐射分布上优于其他3种树形。     

Two-dimensional solar radiation interception model for hedgerow fruit trees

A two-dimensional, hourly or daily time step model was developed, which takes canopy characteristics and row orientation into account to simulate solar radiation interception in hedgerow orchards. In order to determine the spatial and temporal distribution of soil irradiance across the tree row, the canopy path length through which the radiation must travel to reach a certain point on the soil surface is calculated. The model assumes leaves to be uniformly distributed within an ellipsoid, and radiation penetrating the canopy is attenuated according to Beer’s law. Beam or direct radiation and diffuse radiation for the PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) and NIR (near-infrared radiation) wavebands are calculated separately, as they interact differently with the canopy. The attenuation of beam radiation by the canopy is strongly dependent on canopy dimensions and architecture, zenith and azimuth angle, as well as row orientation. Radiation can penetrate neighbouring rows, so two rows on either side of the simulated row are considered. Validation of the model was carried out for a wide range of conditions (crops, row orientation, canopy density, tree size and shape). Field measurements included solar radiation, soil irradiance at different distances from the tree row with tube solarimeters, leaf area density, as well as canopy size and row orientation. Model predictions of soil irradiance were excellent in orchards with symmetrical and elliptical canopies having a uniform leaf distribution. In orchards where the canopy was non-symmetric and/or had non-uniform leaf distribution, errors in predictions of solar radiation transmittance occurred. As a result of these discrepancies, the overall MAE was 40% of the average measured value of radiant transmittance over the whole day.     

Ultraviolet-B radiation in a row-crop canopy: an extended 1-D model

A decrease in stratospheric ozone may result in a serious threat to plants, since biologically active short-wavelength ultraviolet-B (UV-B 280–320 nm) radiation will increase even with a relatively small decrease in ozone. Numerous investigations have demonstrated that the effect of UV-B enhancements on plants includes reduction in grain yield, alteration in species competition, susceptibility to disease, and changes in plant structure and pigmentation. To determine the physiological effects on plants of any increases in UV-B radiation, the irradiances at the potential sensitive plant surface need to be known. A number of radiative transfer models exist but because of the importance of sky diffuse radiation to the global UV-B irradiance, models designed to estimate photosynthetically active radiation or total solar radiation may not accurately model the UV-B. This paper compares spatially and temporally averaged measurements of the UV-B canopy transmittance of a relatively dense maize canopy (sky view: 0.27°) to the estimations of two one-dimensional models differing mainly in the handling of sky radiance. The model that considered the distribution of sky radiance tended to underestimate the canopy transmittance, the model that assumed an isotropic sky radiance distribution tended to overestimate the canopy transmittance. However, the assumption concerning the sky radiance distribution accounted for only about 0.01 of the model error. Consequently, the sky radiance distribution is probably not important in modeling such dense crop canopies. The model that overestimated transmittance and had the generally larger errors, a modified Meyers model, used the assumption of uniform leaf angle distribution, whereas in the other model, designated the UVRT model, leaf angle distributions were estimated by sample measurements. Generally this model would be satisfactory in describing the statistically average UV-B irradiance conditions in the canopy. This model may also be applied to other dense plant canopies including forests.

Seasonal variations in the radiation regime within an oak-hickory forest

Seasonal variations in solar elevation, canopy phenology and leaf pigmentation result in a dynamic variation in the radiation regime within a deciduous forest. Measurements of several insolation components taken within an east Tennessee oak-hickory forest during eight combinations of season and phenological conditions of the canopy are presented. Insolation measurements were made with instruments mounted on a moving tram system at seven levels within, and at one level above the canopy.The attenuation of solar radiation is least during the leafless phenoseason since only woody biomass is present to intercept and absorb it. Net radiation is attenuated to a greater extent than shortwave and photosynthetically active radiation, which are attenuated to a similar degree, since the sparse woody biomass does not effectively trap the outgoing reflected and radiated radiation. Solar elevation did not influence the attenuation of insolation within the leafless forest under the conditions studied.The attenuation of insolation within the leafing, spring canopy increases progressively with increasing leaf area. The attenuation among the components, however, varies. Shortwave attenuation progresses at a faster rate with expanding leaf area than photosynthetically active radiation since newly expanded leaves are low in chlorophyll. The penetration of light into the leafing canopy is independent of solar elevations less than 40° and increases linearly with greater solar elevations.The radiation regime within the fully-leafed canopy is rather static. For daily mean values, no effects of leaf age or seasonal variation in solar elevation are evident. Penetration of light into the canopy, however, increases when solar elevation exceeds 65°.The attenuation of insolation components diminishes during the autumnal senescence—abscission phenoseason, in response to changes in leaf pigment and loss of foliage. Attenuation of insolation is greater in the autumn than during spring periods with similar leaf area since the sun is lower in the sky in the autumn.The depletion of photosynthetically active radiation with depth is minimal during the leafless, early leafing and autumnal phenoseasons. Moderate depletion occurs during the late leafing period and maximal depletion occurs during the fully-leafed phenoseason.     

The effect of turbulence on the light environment of alfalfa

The properties of sunflecks in alfalfa canopies and their relationship to turbulence were quantified from measurements of light fluctuations and winds. Winds were measured above the canopy at 10 Hz, while light was measured at rates as high as 27 Hz inside the canopy. Power spectral analyses were used to determine the importance of various time scales of light fluctuations. Under all wind conditions a prominent spectral peak ranging from 1 to 2 Hz was observed for photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in the canopy at LAI of 1.7. As mean winds increased from 1 to 7 ms⁻¹, the peak broadened and large increases were observed in the contribution of higher frequencies up to 10 Hz. The slope of spectral densities of PAR at the higher frequencies exhibited a linear relationship with the friction velocity or intensity of turbulence above the canopy. This implies that certain properties of sunflecks may be evaluated from measured properties of turbulence.The most prominent peaks in the PAR power spectra are likely due to stalk waving, which is triggered by gusts or turbulent structures. The strong damping effects of plants on the resonant interactions, as well as leaf flutter, account for the broad, flat peak under windy conditions. The frequency of leaf flutter is considered to be the main factor governing the slope of the linear portion of the PAR spectrum.     

Effect of variations of PAR on CO2 exchange estimation for Scots pine

A set-up with 161 photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) sensors was used to investigate spatio-temporal variations of irradiance for five horizontal arrays within a Scots pine canopy. The measured PAR was converted to CO₂ exchange using of a shoot-scale photosynthetic response curve and the vertical distribution of the needle area. The net ecosystem exchange was simultaneously measured by the eddy covariance technique. The effect of spatial and temporal averaging of the PAR values and the number of sensors were analysed under different conditions as regards cloudiness and the shading by the foliage. In 1/2 h CO₂ exchange values for the entire canopy, a maximum overestimation of 30% resulted from a spatial averaging over horizontal arrays of 2–5 m and occurred under clear-sky conditions and significant foliage shading. Under partly cloudy conditions, the largest overestimation occurred for a case of little shading and the inaccuracy resulting from 1/2 h temporal averaging exceeded that of spatial averaging.

Two-dimensional simulation of airflow and carbon dioxide transport over a forested mountain: Part I: Interactions between thermally-forced circulations

Local-scale wind regimes over an idealized two-dimensional (2D) mountain having similar horizontal and vertical scales as Vancouver Island were investigated using a high-resolution mesoscale model. The model-generated flow outputs were then used as ersatz data to assess the impact of limiting assumptions in the eddy-covariance (EC) method as well as the effectiveness of tower flux data time-filtering for the main tower site of the Fluxnet-Canada British Columbia flux station. In this paper, we describe the simulated mesoscale and local-scale flow regimes, and in Part II we describe their use in assessing tower-data analyses of CO₂ fluxes.The numerical model was enhanced to include parameterizations for: tree drag, radiation effects of forest canopies on the surface energy budget, and soil heat conduction. Simulations were performed both over an idealized bare hill and over a forested hill. The simulated flow involved interactions between the land/sea breeze, convective thermals, and mountain circulations under fair-weather conditions.The resulting simulated winds over the forested slope were much weaker than those over a bare slope. The nocturnal drainage flow over the forested slope was separated into sub-canopy and above-canopy regimes due to the temperature inversion at treetop. The strongest downslope flows occurred above the canopy with a minimum velocity occurring in the upper canopy where canopy drag is the strongest. The overturning of large convective eddies during daytime resulted in intermittent downslope flows under the canopy during the day. Wind regimes had a rapid shift from upslope to downslope flow above the canopy just after sunset. Further testing will be made using 3D simulations with higher resolution.     

Modeling gross primary production of irrigated and rain-fed maize using MODIS imagery and CO2 flux tower data

Information on gross primary production (GPP) of maize croplands is needed for assessing and monitoring maize crop conditions and the carbon cycle. A number of studies have used the eddy covariance technique to measure net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO₂ between maize cropland fields and the atmosphere and partitioned NEE data to estimate seasonal dynamics and interannual variation of GPP in maize fields having various crop rotation systems and different water management practices. How to scale up in situ observations from flux tower sites to regional and global scales is a challenging task. In this study, the Vegetation Photosynthesis Model (VPM) and satellite images from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) are used to estimate seasonal dynamics and interannual variation of GPP during 2001-2005 at five maize cropland sites located in Nebraska and Minnesota of the U.S.A. These sites have different crop rotation systems (continuously maize vs. maize and soybean rotated annually) and different water management practices (irrigation vs. rain-fed). The VPM is based on the concept of light absorption by chlorophyll and is driven by the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and the Land Surface Water Index (LSWI), photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and air temperature. The seasonal dynamics of GPP predicted by the VPM agreed well with GPP estimates from eddy covariance flux tower data over the period of 2001-2005. These simulation results clearly demonstrate the potential of the VPM to scale-up GPP estimation of maize cropland, which is relevant to food, biofuel, and feedstock production, as well as food and energy security.

Evaporation from wet soil surfaces beneath plant canopies

Concurrent measurements of the net radiation and evaporation from the soil surface beneath maize canopies were made for 24-hour periods, during which the soil surface remained wet. These measurements showed that evaporation from the soil surface often exceeded the radiant energy supply, indicating a downward flux of sensible heat. This effect was greater beneath a denser canopy. The results suggest that empirical methods of evaporation estimation from the soil surface beneath a canopy may not be successful under conditions where evaporation depends substantially on heat produced in the canopy and transported to the soil surface. In this study, values ranging from 1.10 to 2.44 were obtained for the Priestley-Taylor coefficient α.     

Reduced carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems under overcast skies compared to clear skies

There is still no consensus on the impact of cloud on terrestrial carbon sequestration. Nevertheless, the fraction of sky irradiance which is diffuse (fDIF) is close to half as a global annual average, owing mainly to the presence of clouds. Furthermore, as a consequence of human-induced perturbations, the occurrence and opacity of cloud is changing both regionally (due to deforestation and drainage) and globally (shortwave “solar” dimming). In this study, we quantify the impact of cloud on carbon assimilation at an unprecedented number of FLUXNET sites (38) and for six plant functional types (PFTs). We compare results from previously established empirical and statistical methods with novel land-surface and three-dimensional (3D) radiative-transfer (RT) simulations that take explicit account of diffuse sunlight. We record a much lower enhancement in canopy light-use efficiency (LUE) under diffuse sunlight relative to direct sunlight (factor 1.12–1.80) compared to previous authors (factors 2–3). Increased radiation-sharing, due to varied leaf orientation within the canopy, is the primary cause of LUE-enhancement rather than beam penetration within an open crown structure. Under cloud, we consistently record a decrease in primary productivity (≥10–40%) and an unequivocal decline in daily carbon sequestration (60–80%), owing to the dramatic reduction in total (direct plus diffuse) irradiance that occurs when clouds obscure the solar disk (≥60% attenuation). A cooling-induced reduction in ecosystem respiration offsets the decline in primary productivity by about one third.
