Determining the impacts of climate change and urban expansion on net primary productivity using the spatio-temporal fusion of remote sensing data
Climate change (CLC) and urban expansion (URE) have profoundly altered the terrestrial net primary productivity (NPP). Many studies have determined the effects of CLC and URE on the NPP. However, these studies were conducted at low resolutions (250–1000 m), making it difficult to detect many smaller...

description |
Climate change (CLC) and urban expansion (URE) have profoundly altered the terrestrial net primary productivity (NPP). Many studies have determined the effects of CLC and URE on the NPP. However, these studies were conducted at low resolutions (250–1000 m), making it difficult to detect many smaller new urban lands, and thus potentially underestimating the contribution of URE. To accurately determine the contributions of CLC and URE to the NPP, this study takes Beijing as an example and uses an Enhanced Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model (ESTARFM) to fuse the spatial resolution of the Landsat Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the temporal resolution of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) NDVI to generate a new NDVI with a high spatio-temporal resolution. Compared with the Landsat NDVI, the NDVI fused by the ESTARFM is found to be reliable. The fused NDVI was then inputted into the Carnegie–Ames–Stanford Approach (CASA) model to generate the NPP with a high spatio-temporal resolution, namely, the 30-m NPP. Compared with the 250-m NPP generated by directly inputting the MODIS NDVI into the CASA model, the 30-m NPP as a new ecological indicator is more accurate than the 250-m NPP. Due to the high resolution of the 30-m NPP and its increased ability to detect more new urban lands, the total loss of the 30-m NPP caused by URE is much higher than that of the 250-m NPP.

Moreover, in natural vegetation cover areas, CLC, which is measured by the interannual changes in temperature, precipitation, and solar radiation, is the leading factor of the change in the NPP. However, within the urban areas, residual factors other than CLC and URE, such as the introduction of exotic high-productivity vegetation, irrigation, fertilization, and pest control, dominate the change in the NPP.
