A New Wetness Index to Evaluate the Soil Water Availability Influence on Gross Primary Production of European Forests

Abstract: Rising temperature, drought and more-frequent extreme climatic events have been predicted for the next decades in many regions around the globe. In this framework, soil water availability plays a pivotal role in affecting vegetation productivity, especially in arid or semi-arid environments. However, direct measurements of soil moisture are scarce, and modeling estimations are still subject to biases. Further investigation on the effect of soil moisture on plant productivity is required. This study aims at ana… Show more

“…Soil moisture plays a pivotal role in vegetation dynamics, considering that soil water availability is a crucial limiting factor for plant photosynthesis (Proietti et al, 2019). The WaW 2018 database (CLMS, 2020b), with a resolution of 10 m, has been used providing an overview of permanently and temporarily wet areas.…”

“…BRANISLAV DRAŠKOVIĆ 52 УВОД Влажност земљишта игра кључну улогу у динамици вегетације, с обзиром на то да је доступност воде у земљишту ограничавајући фактор за фотосинтезу биљака (Proietti et al, 2019). С тим у вези, карте влажности земљишта пружају непроцјењив ресурс за квантификацију ефеката недостатка падавина на земљиште покривено вегетацијом (Cammalleri et al, 2015).…”

“…Од осталих регија са већим привремено влажним зонама истиче се сјеверни дио, регије Посавина и Семберија. У овом случају основни разлог појаве влажности везан је INTRODUCTION Soil moisture plays a pivotal role in vegetation dynamics, considering that soil water availability is a crucial limiting factor for plant photosynthesis (Proietti et al, 2019). Consequently, soil moisture maps provide an invaluable resource to quantify the effects of rainfall deficits on vegetated lands (Cammalleri et al, 2015).…”

“…Proietti et al [13], considering the importance of soil water availability as a driver of vegetation productivity, analyzed the spatiotemporal variation of a proposed temperature vegetation wetness index as a proxy of soil moisture and evaluated its effect on gross primary production using 19 representative tree species in Europe over the time period 2000-2010. The Modified Temperature Vegetation Wetness Index (mTVWI) displayed minimum soil water availability in Southern Europe and maximum soil water availability in Northeastern Europe.…”
