Implication

Satellite-derived Ecosystem Functional Types improve understanding of Net Ecosystem Exchange in ecosystems, suggesting better management practices.

Key Points

  • To assess ecosystem functional heterogeneity using satellite-derived Ecosystem Functional Types at a regional scale.
  • Derived EFTs from satellite images from 2001-2014
  • Compared EFTs with NEE measurements from in situ field observations
  • Analyzed data across 50 European sites
  • Distinct EFT classes show significantly different dynamics and magnitudes of NEE
  • EFTs perform better than PFTs in explaining regional NEE patterns
  • Satellite-derived EFTs are sensitive to short-term changes in ecosystem performance
