To accurately monitor the phenology of net ecosystem carbon exchange (NEE) in grasslands with remote sensing, we analyzed the variations in NEE and its phenology in the Stipa krylovii steppe and discussed the remote sensing vegetation index thresholds for NEE phenology, with the observational data from the Inner Mongolia Xilinhot National Climate Observatory's eddy covariance system and meteorological gradient observation system during 2018-2021, as well as Sentinel-2 satellite data from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2021. Results showed that, from 2018 to 2021, NEE exhibited seasonal variations, with carbon sequestration occurring from April to October and carbon emission in other months, resulting in an overall carbon sink. The average Julian days for the start date (SCUP) and the end date (ECUP) of carbon uptake period were the 95th and 259th days, respectively, with an average carbon uptake period lasting 165 days. Photosynthetically active radiation showed a negative correlation with daily NEE, contributing to carbon absorption of grasslands. The optimal threshold for capturing SCUP was a 10% threshold of the red-edge chlorophyll index, while the normalized difference vegetation index effectively reflected ECUP with a threshold of 75%. These findings would provide a basis for remote sensing monitoring of grassland carbon source-sink dynamics.
为准确遥感监测草原净生态系统碳交换(NEE)物候,利用内蒙古锡林浩特国家气候观象台2018—2021年的涡度相关系统和气象梯度观测系统观测数据,结合2018年1月1日至2021年12月31日的Sentinel-2卫星数据,分析克氏针茅草原NEE及其物候的变化规律,并探讨了NEE物候的遥感植被指数及阈值。结果表明: 2018—2021年,研究区NEE呈季节性变化,4—10月为碳汇,其他月份为碳源,总体呈碳汇。碳吸收开始日期(SCUP)和结束日期(ECUP)的平均儒略日分别为第95天和第259天,碳吸收持续时间平均为165 d。光合有效辐射与日NEE呈极显著负相关,有助于草原生态系统吸收大气中CO2。最佳阈值10%的红边叶绿素指数能够较好地捕捉SCUP,而最佳阈值75%的归一化植被指数则能较好地反映ECUP。研究结果可为草原生态系统碳源汇的遥感监测提供依据。.
