Abstract

To clarify the spatiotemporal variation characteristics of forest net primary productivity (NPP) in the Greater Khingan Mountains of Inner Mongolia and its response patterns to climate change from 2010 to 2022, this paper quantitatively analyzed the spatiotemporal evolution pattern of forest NPP and the climate-driven effects in this region based on MOD17A3H remote sensing data and meteorological observation data, using methods including trend analysis and partial correlation analysis. The results showed that the interannual variation of forest NPP in the Greater Khingan Mountains of Inner Mongolia exhibited an upward trend, ranging from 331.04 to 456.45 gC/(m²·a), with an annual increasing rate of 12.7 gC/(m²·a). Spatially, it presented an overall decreasing pattern of “high in the north and low in the south”, and the low-value zones were concentrated in the southern forest-steppe ecotone. The air temperature in the Greater Khingan Mountains forest area showed a slowly fluctuating upward trend, while precipitation displayed a slowly fluctuating downward trend; both factors featured significant spatial heterogeneity and exerted complementary regulatory effects on NPP. The spatial distribution of partial correlation coefficients presented a pattern of “high in the south and low in the north”, with precipitation being the dominant factor driving NPP variation. Precipitation therefore acted as the dominant climatic factor for NPP changes in this forest zone, and the synergistic effect of air temperature and precipitation shaped the spatiotemporal differentiation pattern of NPP. The regional forest ecosystem was generally stable and improving, and ecological protection projects had a significant promoting effect on productivity enhancement. The findings can provide a scientific basis for forest carbon sink management, ecological protection and restoration, as well as the formulation of climate change response strategies in the Greater Khingan Mountains of Inner Mongolia.

. In the last decade, Europe has been stricken by two outstanding heatwaves, the 2003 event in western Europe and the 2010 episode over Russia. Both events were characterized by record-breaking temperatures and widespread socio-economic impacts, including significant increments on human mortality, decreases in crop yields and in hydroelectric production. Previous works have shown that an extreme climatic event does not always imply an extreme response by ecosystems. This work attempts to assess how extreme was the vegetation response to the heatwaves during 2003 and 2010 in Europe, in order to quantify the impacts of the two events on carbon fluxes in plant productivity and to identify the physical drivers of the observed response. Heatwave impacts in vegetation productivity were analysed using MODIS products from 2000 to 2011. Both 2003 and 2010 events led to marked decreases in plant productivity, well below the climatological range of variability, with carbon uptake by vegetation during August reaching negative anomalies of more than 2 standard deviations, although the 2010 event affected a much larger extent. A differentiated response in autotrophic respiration was observed, depending on land-cover types, with forests increasing respiration rates in response to the heatwaves, while in crops respiration rates decreased. The widespread decrease in carbon uptake matched the regions where very high temperature values were also preceded by a long period of below-average precipitation, leading to strong soil moisture deficits. In the case of the 2003 heatwave, results indicate that moisture deficits coupled with high temperatures drove the extreme response of vegetation, while for the 2010 event very high temperatures appear to be the sole driver of very low productivity.
