MOD17A2H includes a layer of net photosynthesis, an indicator of NPP reflecting the spatiotemporal variations in vegetation carbon sequestration. When the ratio of soil heterotrophic respiration (RH) to NPP is about 0.71~0.74 (see Methods), the total carbon gap of 13.74PgCyr1 means reducing an extra 3.5~4.0PgCyr1 from the atmosphere and compensating more than 1/3 of the global fossil fuel emissions.

Thus, grasslands and croplands have the advantage of showing immediate benefit, i.e., increased carbon sequestration, from the implementation of OLMPs. Natl. Under those cases, the land-management optimization could be adjusted to a lower target potential NPP, e.g., from the current 90th percentile (NPPCR90th) to the 80th percentile, which will allow more candidates of OLMPs for options.

Barbier, E. B. Agric. We estimate that ~1/5 more carbon, totaling 13.74PgCyr1, could be added to the current NPP from global terrestrial vegetation if the identified OLMPs get implemented, or a net effect of reducing 3.54.0PgCyr1 from the atmosphere. These regions crop production management practices are well optimized and fit their environments. The most right green bar, which also happens in about 4.8% of the total vegetated area, represents that those locations have the most highest carbon gap density (>300gCm2yr1). Hence, improving carbon sequestration through land conversions is not widely acceptable. Am.

South America ranks the third-largest in the vegetated area (i.e., 16.58millionkm2); because of its relatively high carbon gap flux which amounts to 167.6gCm2yr1, the carbon gap totals 2.78PgCyr1, leading all the continents/regions. For example, the climate-driven Miami model, which has been widely applied to map large-scale NPP10,17,18, highlights the climatic factors importance as vital drivers to carbon sequestration. Ma, W.

The relationship between the total carbon gap and total NPP at the global scale is revealed by Pearsons correlation analysis on the two variables, i.e., total carbon gap and total NPP for each continent/region, resulting in Pearson correlation coefficient r=0.98 (Fig. Lett. Thus, any NPP variation within an LVS zone is attributed to varied climatic and HUMAN impacts only. Manning, P. et al. The OLMPs and carbon gaps are processed for each location.

Conservation and restoration of seminatural grasslands is one of the main objectives of current biodiversity policies throughout Europe. Conservation in Brazil needs to include non-forest ecosystems. Nutrient and energy flow also play a critical role in ecosystems. It is argued that the variations of NPPCR at locations within an LVS zone are attributed to the differences in HUMAN impacts (i.e., LMPs). & Hall, D. O. 4) and notably illustrated by two typical rainforests, i.e., the Amazon rainforest located within South America and the African rainforests (Supplementary Fig. Gang, C. et al. Equation(1) describes the relationship between PNPP and two climatic variables, p and t. For discriminating the varied climate impact on NPP in an LVS zone, a location-dependent relative contribution (RC) of climate factor is defined as the difference between PNPP at location i in an LVS zone g and the averaged PNPP of the whole g, namely. Ecol. First, landform properties are often used to represent the spatial variability of hydrological, geomorphologic, and biological processes47. Conversely, in grassland ecosystems where degraded vegetation showed decreased productivity due to overgrazing27, measurements such as destocking rate or rotational grazing in a neighborhood could increase vegetation productivity9,28; thus, the practices of destocking and rotational grazing can be taken as OLMPs. In other words, LMPs at locations too far away from the currently examined location could be affected by too many heterogeneous economic, social, and political factors. Sci. Loss of semi-natural grassland in a boreal landscape: impacts of agricultural intensification and abandonment. where the computed Relative_BIO_gap indicates the possible increase of biomass when OLMPs get implemented. As a result, the net effect of mitigating GHGs through OLMPs in some areas could be overestimated. Wolf, S. et al. Science 351, 120122 (2016). 5). The Miami model is used to assess the climate impact on PNPP, which takes the form51. Furthermore, locally referenced OLMPs are more practical for policy implementation and make it possible for on-site checkout.
