Spatial and temporal patterns of herbaceous primary production in semi-arid shrublands a remote sensing approach

Questions: Can herbaceous above-ground net primary production [ANPP] be estimated from remote sensing when woody and herbaceous plants are intermingled? How does herbaceous ANPP change in space and time in an ecosystem dominated by woody species? What are the main controls of herbaceous ANPP to padd...

520 |a Questions: Can herbaceous above-ground net primary production [ANPP] be estimated from remote sensing when woody and herbaceous plants are intermingled? How does herbaceous ANPP change in space and time in an ecosystem dominated by woody species? What are the main controls of herbaceous ANPP to paddock scale? Location: Native plant communities and buffelgrass roller chopped pastures of the Arid Chaco, western Argentina [28-32 grade S, 64-67 grade W; area: 100 000 km2]. Methods: We decomposed normalized difference vegetation index [NDVI] data from MODIS [pixel size: 250 m 9 250 m] into woody [W] and herbaceous [H] components. We calibrated the relationship between field estimates of herbaceous ANPP and the H component of NDVI using linear regression. The regression model fitted was applied to a 10-yr MODIS database for four paddocks to estimate herbaceous ANPP. We analysed the relationship between herbaceous ANPP and watering point distance and growing season precipitation. Results: The annual integral of NDVI 9 proportion of the herbaceous component [H/(H + W)] explained 71 per cent and 91 per cent of herbaceous ANPP variation in native plant communities and buffelgrass roller chopped pastures, respectively. The regression model fitted, however, differed [P minor than 0.05] between the two types of system. The NDVI annual integral explained a higher proportion of herbaceous ANPP variations than the NDVI annual peak or the growing season [December-April] integral. For native plant communities, herbaceous production increased significantly [P minor than 0.05] with watering point distance, and marginally significantly [P minor than 0.10] with growing season precipitation. For buffelgrass roller chopped pastures, the herbaceous production increased significantly [P minor than 0.05] with growing season precipitation. Conclusion: Ourmodel was able to estimate herbaceous ANPP fromthe decomposition of an NDVI time series that included woody components. Thus, the model provides the basis for more accurate monitoring of spatial and temporal variability of herbaceous ANPP in areas where herbaceous and woody plant components co-exist. Applying ourmodels,we detected clear spatial and temporal patterns of herbaceous ANPP. The possibility of describing in a spatially explicit way the past 14 yrs of herbaceous ANPP allows designing livestock management strategies and devise alternatives to control degradation processes in the Arid Chaco.
