Elevated atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentration and vegetation structural changes contributed to gross primary productivity increase more than climate and forest cover changes in subtropical forests of China
Abstract CO 2 g C m - 2 yr - 1, p < 0.001) under the interaction effects of FCC, LAI change, rising CO 2 CO 2 g C m - 2 yr - 1, p < 0.001) and LAI change (3.79 g C m - 2 yr - 1, p = 0.004) were the two dominant drivers of total subtropical forest GPP increase, followed by the effects of FCC (0.52 g C m - 2 yr - 1, p < 0.001) and CC (0.92 g C m - 2 yr - 1, p = 0.080). We observed different responses to drivers depending on forest types. The evergreen broad-leaved forests showed the maximum carbon sequestration rate due to the positive effects of all drivers. Both the FCC (0.19 g C m - 2 yr - 1, p < 0.05) and CC (1.22 g C m - 2 yr - 1, p < 0.05) significantly decreased evergreen needle-leaved forest GPP, while their negative effects were almost offset by the positive impact of LAI changes. Our results indicated that LAI outweighed FCC in promoting GPP, which is an essential driver that needs to be accounted for in studies and ecological and management programmes. Overall, our study offers a novel perspective on different drivers of subtropical forest GPP changes and provides valuable information for policy makers to better manage subtropical forests to mitigate climate change risks.
