Abstract:

Objective: The acquisition of complete and valid flux data as well as the analysis of the energy balance of an ecosystem is the basis for further understanding of the energy and material exchange processes in an ecosystem. Method: In this paper, the R language REddyProc package was selected to interpolate the flux data measured by the Eddy covariance technique. The interpolated data were evaluated using the cross-validation method and the energy balance closure. At the same time, the terms of the thermal storage in the energy balance were corrected to analyze the energy balance closure of jujube forests in the arid zone and the trend of each energy component. Result: 1) The REddyProc package could interpolate the data better with the error statistic parameters of the regression coefficient b=0.86-0.99, determination coefficient R2=0.86-0.95, index of agreement d=0.96-0.98, efficiency of simulation EF=0.84-0.92, and RMSE-observations standard deviation ratio RSR=0.28-0.40. 2) After conducting the R package interpolation, the energy balance closures of the jujube date forests were 73.45% and 73.11%, respectively. R2 of the 2-year effective energy (H+LE) and available energy (Rn-G) both were 0.97. After adding the thermal storage terms, the energy balance closures increased to 77.17% (by 3.72%) and 75.86% (by 2.75%), respectively. The thermal storage terms affected some improvements in the energy balance closure of jujube forests. 3) The daily-averaged variation pattern of each energy component (the net radiation Rn, latent heat flux LE, sensible heat flux H, and soil heat flux G) was similar during the fertility and dormancy with a single-peaked daily variation according to the variation pattern of the net radiation. Conclusion: This paper analyzed the energy exchange patterns of Jujube forest ecosystems in arid areas. The year-round energy balance closure of jujube forests was in line with the range of ChinaFlux and the thermal storage term affected some improvements in the energy balance closure of jujube forests. The achievements can provide a theoretical basis for studying the energy and material cycles in jujube forests.
