Divergent contributions of spring and autumn photosynthetic phenology to seasonal carbon uptake of subtropical vegetation in China

Phenological changes play a central role in regulating seasonal variation in the ecological processes,exerting significant impacts on hydrologic and nutrient cycles,and ul-timately influencing ecosystem functioning such as carbon uptake.However,the potential impact mechanisms of phenological events on seasonal carbon dynamics in subtropical re-gions are under-investigated.These knowledge gaps hinder from accurately linking photo-synthetic phenology and carbon sequestration capacity.Using chlorophyll fluorescence re-mote sensing and productivity data from 2000 to 2019,we found that an advancement in spring phenology increased spring gross(GPP)and net primary productivity(NPP)in sub-tropical vegetation of China by 2.1 gC m-2 yr-1 and 1.4 gC m-2 yr-1,respectively.A delay in autumn phenology increased the autumnal GPP and NPP by 0.4 gC m-2 yr1 and 0.2 gC m-2 yr-1,respectively.Temporally,the contribution of the spring phenology to spring carbon uptake increased significantly during the study period,while this positive contribution showed a non-significant trend in summer.In comparison,the later autumn phenology could significantly contribute to the increase in autumnal carbon uptake;however,this contributing effect was weakened.Path analysis indicated that these phenomena have been caused by the in-creased leaf area and enhanced photosynthesis due to earlier spring and later autumn phenology,respectively.Our results demonstrate the diverse impacts of vegetation phe-nology on the seasonal carbon sequestration ability and it is imperative to consider such asymmetric effects when modeling ecosystem processes parameterized under future cli-mate change.
