Abstract
Lots of studies have shown that the Northern Hemispheric terrestrial ecosystems play an important role of net carbon uptake by the observation of eddy flux (Kosugi et al. 2005; Takanashi et al. 2005; Rodrigues et al. 2011; Allard et al. 2008; Grünwald and Bernhofer 2007; Powell et al. 2008; Bracho et al. 2012; Stoy et al. 2008). However, the carbon uptake strength showed great divergence. For example, the GPP of tropical rainforest was up to 3760 g C m−2 year−1 (Hirata et al. 2008), while the GPP of boreal evergreen coniferous forest was only about 18% (705 g C m−2 year−1) of that tropical rainforest (Dunn et al. 2007). The NEP was 467 g C m−2 year−1 in the intensive managed grassland (Ammann et al. 2007), while it was 197 g C m−2 year−1 in the tallgrass steppe (Suyker et al. 2003), and it was −55 to −37 g C m−2 year−1 in the alpine meadow where it showed weak carbon emission (Fu et al. 2009).
