A test of the optimality approach to modelling canopy properties and CO2 uptake by natural vegetation.
Photosynthesis provides plants with their main building material, carbohydrates, and with the energy necessary to thrive and prosper in their environment. We expect, therefore, that natural vegetation would evolve optimally to maximize its net carbon profit (NCP), the difference between carbon acquired by photosynthesis and carbon spent on maintenance of the organs involved in its uptake. We mo...
متن کاملInvestigation on the Patterns of Global Vegetation Change Using a Satellite-Sensed Vegetation Index
The pattern of vegetation change in response to global change still remains a controversial issue. A Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) dataset compiled by the Global Inventory Modeling and Mapping Studies (GIMMS) was used for analysis. For the period 1982–2006, GIMMS-NDVI analysis indicated that monthly NDVI changes show homogenous trends in middle and high latitude areas in the nor...
متن کاملNet uptake of atmospheric CO2 by coastal submerged aquatic vegetation
'Blue Carbon', which is carbon captured by marine living organisms, has recently been highlighted as a new option for climate change mitigation initiatives. In particular, coastal ecosystems have been recognized as significant carbon stocks because of their high burial rates and long-term sequestration of carbon. However, the direct contribution of Blue Carbon to the uptake of atmospheric CO2 t...
متن کاملMeris Global Vegetation Index: Evaluation and Performance
This paper overviews the evaluation and the performance of the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) Global Vegetation Index (MGVI) algorithm which is implemented in the MERIS ground segment as the main land surface product, also called the Top Of Atmosphere Vegetation Index (TOAVI). MGVI values represent the Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) which act as...
متن کاملModelling Above ground net primary production of Sabalan rangelands using vegetation index and non-linear regression
Background and objectives: Alongside with the progresss in satellite sensors, their role on obtaining information and study of the environmental events and phenomena have become increasingly important. One of these precious data which is the basis for many planning and decision making in rangelands, is the above ground net primary production assements. The traditional method of estimating ANPP ...
