Abstract

Climate warming has important effects on Arctic vegetation, but the roles of Arctic vegetation as a carbon sink or source in the future remain largely unknown. In this study, we selected the tundra and needle leaf forest areas in Alaska to examine vegetation growth and carbon exchange using the LPJ-GUESS model. We used flux site data to verify the accuracy of GPP and NEE simulated with climate variables, then simulated GPP and NEE from 1992 to 2014 and GPP and NEE from 2020 to 2100 under different climate scenarios, and compared the GPP and LAI simulated by the model with those under future scenarios. We used LPJ-GUESS model to explore the importance of climate variables on GPP and NEE.
