Abstract:

The paper aimed at investigating net primary productivity (NPP) of China terrestrial vegetation based on the light use efficiency model (3-PGS), and its temp-spatial pattern over various climate and vegetation types. The results showed that the annual mean NPP and annual sum of NPP in China terrestrial vegetation were approximately 315.99 gC ·m-2a-1 and 2.98 PgC, respectively during the period of 2003—2007. The distribution of NPP in China terrestrial vegetation was characterized as decreasing from southeast toward northwest China along the temperature and precipitation gradients. Tropical forests in the south-central of the Hainan island had the largest NPP value, whereas the plateau climate zone had the lowest values. NPP of China terrestrial vegetation also exhibited obvious seasonal changes with the peak values occurred in summer, and the lowest values in winter.
