“…The first method integrates many types of new high-resolution remote sensing indices to improve the climate monitoring ability of SIF, such as VPP, PPI, and NDGI. Secondly, it is also possible to combine meteorological factors to calibrate the critical period of phenology for different vegetation types based on existing remote sensing estimations of phenology to improve the precision of phenology monitoring in SIF [68,69].…”

The accurate monitoring of vegetation phenology is critical for carbon sequestration and sink enhancement. Vegetation phenology in arid zones is more sensitive to climate responses; therefore, it is important to conduct research on phenology in arid zones in response to global climate change. This study compared the applicability of the enhanced vegetation index (EVI), which is superior in arid zones, and global solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (GOSIF), which has a high spatial resolution, in extracting vegetation phenology in arid zones, and explored the mechanism of the differences in the effects of environmental factors on the phenology of different vegetation types. Therefore, this study employed a global solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (GOSIF) dataset to determine the start and end of the vegetation growth season (SOSSIF and EOSSIF, respectively) in the arid zone of Northwest China from 2001 to 2019. The results were compared with those from the EVI-based MODIS climate product MCD12Q2 (SOSEVI and EOSEVI). Variations in the sensitivity of these climatic datasets concerning temperature, precipitation, and standardised precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) were assessed through partial correlation analysis. Results: Compared to the MCD12Q2 climatic products, SOSSIF and EOSSIF closely matched the observed climate data in the study area. Spring onset was delayed at higher altitudes and latitudes, and the end of the growing season occurred earlier in these areas. Both SOSSIF and EOSSIF significantly advanced from 2001 to 2019 (trend degrees −0.22 and −0.48, respectively). Spring vegetation phenology was chiefly influenced by precipitation while autumn vegetation phenology was driven by both precipitation and SPEI. GOSIF-based climate data provides a more accurate representation of vegetation phenology compared to traditional vegetation indices. The findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the potential ability of EVI and SIF to reveal the influence of vegetation phenology on the carbon cycle.

Due to global climate change and the intensification of human activities, the ecological function of Wuliangsu Lake Basin has been seriously degraded. Obtaining accurate spatial–temporal dynamics of regional ecological environment quality is essential for the evaluation of ecological management and restoration effects. This study assessed the trend changes and drivers of the Remote Sensing Ecological Index (RSEI) in the Wuliangsu Lake Basin from 2000−2020. Firstly, the trend analysis method and hurst index were used to analyze the temporal and spatial variation of RSEI. Then the main factors of RSEI variation were analyzed using meteorological data, integrated nighttime lighting data, and population density data. Overall, the RSEI shows an increasing trend from the west to the east with a rate of 0.0034 year−1 over the last 21 years. The area change of RSEI was 54.22%, 63.80% and 52.43% for 2000−2006, 2007−2013 and 2014−2020, respectively, which indicates that most areas have a stable ecological environment. However, the overall Future Improvement Trend (FIT) area of RSEI is 42.21%, mainly in Dengkou area, Urad Qianqi and central area. This indicates that the RSEI remains stable locally and shows an overall improving trend. The results of the correlation analysis showed that the areas influenced by meteorological and human factors were highly coincident, mainly in Dengkou and northern Linhe areas and Urad Qianqi. Considering the lagging effect of ecological engineering, the sustainable development status of RSEI in the western and eastern regions will maintain an improving trend in the future. Our study confirms the complex relationship between RSEI and meteorological and human activities, which is crucial for the scientific management of watershed ecosystems under the influence of anthropogenic factors.

The maximum light use efficiency (LUE) (ε0) is a key essential parameter of the LUE model, and its accurate estimation is crucial for quantifying gross primary production (GPP) and better understanding the global carbon budget. Currently, a comprehensive understanding of the potential of seasonal variations of ε0 in GPP estimation across different plant functional types (PFTs) is still lacking. In this study, we used a phenology-based strategy for the estimation of ε0 to find the optimal photosynthetic responses of the parameter in different phenological stages. The start and end of growing season (SOS and EOS) from time series vegetation indices and the camera-derived greenness index were extracted across seven PFT flux sites using the methods of the hybrid generalized additive model (HGAM) and double logistic function (DLF). Optimal extractions of SOS and EOS were evaluated, and the ε0 was estimated from flux site observations during the optimal phenological stages with the light response equation. Coupled with other obligatory parameters of the LUE model, phenology-based GPP (GPPphe-based) was estimated over 21 site-years and compared with vegetation photosynthesis model (VPM)-based GPP (GPPVPM) and eddy covariance-measured GPP (GPPEC). Generally, GPPphe-based basically tracked both the seasonal dynamics and inter-annual variation of GPPEC well, especially at forest, cropland, and wetland flux sites. The R2 between GPPphe-based and GPPEC was stable between 0.85 and 0.95 in forest ecosystems, between 0.75 and 0.85 in cropland ecosystems, and around 0.9 in wetland ecosystems. Furthermore, we found that GPPphe-based was significantly improved compared to GPPVPM in cropland, grassland, and wetland ecosystems, implying that phenology-based ε0 is more appropriate in the GPP estimation of herbaceous plants. In addition, we found that GPPphe-based was significantly improved over GPPVPM in cropland, grassland, and wetland ecosystems, and the R2 between GPPphe-based and GPPEC was improved by up to 0.11 in cropland ecosystems and 0.05 in wetland ecosystems compared to GPPVPM, and RMSE was reduced by up to 5.90 and 2.11 g C m−2 8 day−1, respectively, implying that phenology-based ε0 in herbaceous plants is more appropriate for GPP estimation. This work highlights the potential of phenology-based ε0 in understanding the seasonal variation of vegetation photosynthesis and production.
