Detection and attribution of positive net ecosystem productivity extremes in China's terrestrial ecosystems during 2000-2016

Positive net ecosystem productivity (NEP) extreme represents an extreme carbon sink in the terrestrial ecosystem. Studying positive NEP extremes and their control mechanisms is vital for a better understanding of the carbon cycle and mitigation of global warming. However, there are still challenges...

Studying positive NEP extremes and their control mechanisms is vital for a better understanding of the carbon cycle and mitigation of global warming. However, there are still challenges and difficulties in quantifying positive NEP extremes and finding optimal climate conditions to form them in China's terrestrial ecosystems. In this study, we used the Boreal Ecosystem Productivity Simulator (BEPS) to detect and reveal the control mechanisms of NEP extremes in China's terrestrial ecosystems. We found the positive NEP extremes occurred in 2002, 2012, and 2015, with the detrended NEP anomalies of 0.15 Pg C yr−1, 0.11 Pg C yr−1, and 0.09 Pg C yr−1, respectively.

However, the relationship between the anomalies of ecosystem respiration (Re) and NEP was not significant (P > 0.001). These results mean that GPP (rather than Re) played a decisive role in the positive NEP extremes.
