Abstract: The dynamics of biophysical parameters of forest cover is analysed on the basis of remote sensing data for Ukrainian Western Polissia to estimate the intensity of carbon absorption by the forest cover. Seasonal changes of the basic vegetation cover parameters (NDVI, EVI, LAI, FPAR, ET, GPP and NPP) from 2000 to 2011 are analysed using MODIS data. Our results show that seasonal variations of vegetation cover parameters are closely connected with seasonal growth of vegetation. Weather variables for the periods under consideration are studied. Some correlations between GPP and NPP and different vegetation parameters and climatic factors are estimated. Water use efficiency (WUE) as the ratio of GPP to evapotranspiration (ET) and carbon uptake efficiency as NPP/GPP ratio are calculated and analysed. |
