This study is to evaluate the RHESSys (Regional Hydro-Ecological Simulation System) simulated gross primary productivity (GPP) comparing it to the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) GPP and Flux tower measured GPP. A 8.5 km2 Seolma-cheon catchment located in the northwest of South Korea was adopted. The catchment covers 90.0% forest and the dominant soil is sandy loam. The RHESSys is a hydro-ecological model designed to simulate integrated water, carbon, and nutrient cycling and transport over spatially variable terrain. The Flux tower GPP was estimated by the eddy covariance CO2 fluxes data and RE (ecosystem respiration). MODIS is the primary instrument in the NASA Earth Observing System for monitoring the seasonality of global terrestrial vegetation. Estimates of 8-day mean daily GPP at 1 km spatial resolution are now operationally produced. As a result, the 2008 RHESSys model GPP, MODIS GPP and Flux tower GPP of the watershed were 1373.0 g/m2/year, 1206.5 g/m2/year and 1464.3 g/m2/year respectively. The estimates were improved by proper integration of remotely sensed GPP evaluation and model carbon partitioning, which could prove particularly useful for operational monitoring applications on a regional scale. |
