| Popis: | Accurately modeling gross primary productivity (GPP) is of great importance for diagnosing terrestrial carbon–climate feedbacks. Process-based terrestrial ecosystem models are often subject to substantial uncertainties, primarily attributed to inadequately calibrated parameters. Recent research has identified carbonyl sulfide (COS) as a promising proxy of GPP due to the close linkage between leaf exchange of COS and carbon dioxide (CO2) through their shared pathway of stomatal diffusion. However, most of the current modeling approaches for COS and CO2 do not explicitly consider the vegetation structural impacts, i.e., the differences between the sunlit and shaded leaves in COS uptake. This study used ecosystem COS fluxes from seven sites to optimize GPP estimation across various ecosystems with the Biosphere-atmosphere Exchange Process Simulator (BEPS), which was further developed to simulate the canopy COS uptake under its state-of-the-art two-leaf framework. Our results demonstrated substantial improvement in GPP simulation across various ecosystems through the data assimilation of COS flux into the two-leaf model, with the ensemble mean of the root mean square error (RMSE) for simulated GPP reduced by 20.16 % to 64.12 %. Notably, we also shed light on the remarkable identifiability of key parameters within the BEPS model, including the maximum carboxylation rate of RuBisCO at 25 °C (Vcmax25), minimum stomatal conductance (bH2O), and leaf nitrogen content (Nleaf), despite intricate interactions among COS-related parameters. Furthermore, our global sensitivity analysis delineated both shared and disparate sensitivities of COS and GPP to model parameters and suggested the unique treatment of parameters for each site in COS and GPP modeling. In summary, our study deepened insights into the sensitivity, identifiability, and interactions of parameters related to COS and showcased the efficacy of COS in reducing uncertainty in GPP simulations. |
