<p>Phenological information can be obtained from different sources of data. For instance, from remote sensing data or products and from models driven by weather variables. The former typically allows analyzing land surface phenology whereas the latter provide plant phenological information. Analyzing relationships between both sources of data allows us to understand the impact of climate change on vegetation over space and time. For example, the onset of spring is advanced or delayed by changes in the climate. These alterations affect plant productivity and animal migrations.</p><p>Spring onset monitoring is supported by the Extended Spring Index (SI-x), which are a suite of regression-based models for key indicator plant species. These models (Schwartz et al. in 2013) are based on daily maximum and minimum temperature from the first day of the year (January 1<sup>st</sup>). The primary products of these models are the timing of first leaf and first bloom, but they also provide derivative products such as the timing of last freeze day and the risk of frost damage day (damage index) for each year. This information helps to understand if vegetation could have suffered from environmental stressors such as droughts or a late frost events. The effects of environmental stressors in vegetation could be captured by the false spring index, which relates the first leaf day and the last freeze day. Moreover, this information could be used to understand plant productivity as well as to evaluate the economic impact of climate change.</p><p>Previous works studied the relationship between remote sensing and plant level products by means of spatial-temporal analysis between Gross Primary Production (GPP) and a spring onset index. However, they did not consider the possible impact of false spring effect in these relationships. Here, we present a spatial-temporal analysis between GPP and the damage index to better understand the effect of false springs (in annual gross photosynthesis data). The analysis is done for the period 2000 to 2015 over the contiguous US and at spatial resolution of 1 km. We used the MODIS annual sum of GPP and the damage and false spring indices derived from the SI-x models.</p>

Gross primary production (GPP) represents the carbon (C) uptake of ecosystems through photosynthesis and it is the largest flux of the global carbon balance. Our overall objective in this research is to identify and model GPP dynamics and its relationship with meteorological variables and energy fluxes based on time series analysis of eddy covariance (EC) data in two different agroecosystems, a Mediterranean rice crop in Spain and a rainfed cropland in Germany. Crops exerted an important influence on the energy and water fluxes dynamics existing a clear feedback between GPP, meteorological variables and energy fluxes in both type of crops.

Abstract. The partitioning of photosynthates toward biomass compartments plays a crucial role in the carbon (C) sink function of forests. Few studies have examined how carbon is allocated toward plant compartments in drought-prone forests. We analyzed the fate of gross primary production (GPP) in relation to yearly water deficit in an old evergreen Mediterranean Quercus ilex coppice severely affected by water limitations. Carbon fluxes between the ecosystem and the atmosphere were measured with an eddy covariance flux tower running continuously since 2001. Discrete measurements of litterfall, stem growth and fAPAR allowed us to derive annual productions of leaves, wood, flowers and acorns, and an isometric relationship between stem and belowground biomass has been used to estimate perennial belowground growth. By combining eddy covariance fluxes with annual net primary productions (NPP), we managed to close a C budget and derive values of autotrophic, heterotrophic respirations and carbon-use efficiency (CUE; the ratio between NPP and GPP). Average values of yearly net ecosystem production (NEP), GPP and Reco were 282, 1259 and 977 g C m−2. The corresponding aboveground net primary production (ANPP) components were 142.5, 26.4 and 69.6 g C m−2 for leaves, reproductive effort (flowers and fruits) and stems, respectively. NEP, GPP and Reco were affected by annual water deficit. Partitioning to the different plant compartments was also impacted by drought, with a hierarchy of responses going from the most affected – the stem growth – to the least affected – the leaf production. The average CUE was 0.40, which is well in the range for Mediterranean-type forest ecosystems. CUE tended to decrease less drastically in response to drought than GPP and NPP did, probably due to drought acclimation of autotrophic respiration. Overall, our results provide a baseline for modeling the inter-annual variations of carbon fluxes and allocation in this widespread Mediterranean ecosystem, and they highlight the value of maintaining continuous experimental measurements over the long term.
