Abstract:
As an important indicator to measure the health of terrestrial ecosystems, the Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) of vegetation can directly reflect the improvement of regional environment. Therefore, accurate estimation of vegetation GPP changes is of great significance to regional sustainable development. In this paper, a GPP estimation model using the CatBoost algorithm integrating topographic data was developed. Using the vorticity flux observation data from China and Japan, this model was applied to simulate the long term GPP of Fujian Province where the topographic effect is significant. The results show that: (1) Terrain features are important parameters for the estimation of GPP using machine learning methods. The accuracy of GPP simulation results with terrain features included is significantly improved, and the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is decreased by 16%; (2) The GPP estimation model based on CatBoost has higher accuracy and stronger robustness and effectively reduces the overestimation and underestimation phenomena existing in traditional GPP estimation models and commonly used machine learning models (e.g., random forest and support vector machine). The coefficient of determination (R2) is 0.888, the RMSE is 1.164 gC· m-2· day-1, and the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) is 0.773 gC· m-2· day-1; (3) The multi-year GPP changes in Fujian Province simulated by the CatBoost GPP estimation model are highly consistent with the GOSIF GPP estimation results, indicating a more accurate GPP spatial distribution in Fujian Province. It is found that the mean GPP of Fujian Province from 2002 to 2020 was 1 697 gC · m- 2 · a- 1. The overall spatial distribution is characterized by "decreasing from southeast to northwest", and the multi-year GPP variation shows a trend of "non-significant fluctuation increase". This study provides a new method and useful data for regional GPP estimation and ecological environment management. © 2023 Journal of Geo-Information Science. All rights reserved.
