Abstract
Estimating gross primary production (GPP) of terrestrial ecosystems is important for understanding the terrestrial carbon cycle. However, existed nationwide GPP datasets are primarily driven by coarse spatial resolutions (≥500 m) remotely sensed data, which fails to capture the spatial heterogeneity of GPP across different ecosystem types at land surface. This paper introduces a new GPP dataset, Hi-GLASS GPP v1, with a fine spatial resolution (30-m) and monthly temporal resolution from 2016 to 2020 in China. The Hi-GLASS GPP v1 dataset is generated from 30-m Landsat data using a process based light use efficiency model. The Hi-GLASS GPP v1 model integrates a detailed map of maize plantations, a crucial C4 crop in China known for its higher photosynthetic efficiency compared to C3 crops. This inclusion helps correct the underestimation of GPP that typically occurs when all croplands are categorized as C3. The Hi-GLASS GPP v1 dataset demonstrates a robust correlation with GPP data derived from eddy covariance towers, thereby enabling a more accurate assessment of terrestrial carbon sequestration across China.
