Abstract:

Objective: This study was carried out to understand the phenological changes of temperate deciduous broad-leaved forest and its relationships with meteorological factors in order to improve the accuracy of vegetation carbon sequestration model and regional carbon sequestration simulation. Method: The relative green chromatic coordinate (Gcc) was calculated from the continuous images produced by digital cameras in a deciduous broad-leaved ecosystem in Songshan, Beijing in 2019. The relationships between Gcc and environmental factors were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis. Furthermore, phenology stage was estimated using Gcc, normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI) and gross primary productivity (GPP) by eddy covariance, then their differences were compared. Result: The correlation coefficients between Gcc and air temperature (Ta), soil temperature (Ts), soil volume water content (SWC), photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and precipitation (P) were 0.88, 0.86, 0.29, 0.45, 0.65 and 0.25, respectively. The starting day of year of growing season (SOS) dericed from Gcc, NDVI and GPP was 129, 116 and 110, respectively. The ending day of year of growing season (EOS) was 277, 277 and 283, respectively. The length of growing season (LOS) was 148, 162 and 173 days, respectively. Conclusion: During the study period, vegetation growth was mainly affected by temperature, PAR and VPD. Precipitation had a pulse effect on Gcc. The digital camera and SRS-NDVI could sensitively capture the dynamics in vegetation growth. The accuracy of digital camera for late growth might be higher than that for early growth.
