Abstract

Plants are one of the most important components of the ecosystem which are affected by natural and human factors. Therefore, the study of net primary production (NPP) is one of the main subjects in ecology. The main purpose of this research was to model spatial and temporal distributions of NPP and also to determine the degradation of vegetation types using Carnegie Ames Stanford Approach (CASA), Rain Use Efficiency (RUE) and Light Use Efficiency (LUE) models in semi-steppe rangelands of Isfahan Province. For this purpose, the 16-day MODIS NDVI images, metrological data, land cover maps and field study were applied in the study area. The results showed that the NPP rate increased from March (11. 44gC/m2/mo) to May (41. 07gC/m2/mo) while demonstrating a decreasing trend from the onset of June (2. 2 g C/m2/mo) due to soil dryness. Climate, vegetation type and rangeland conditions had important roles in annual plant NPP and therefore the highest and lowest NPP were observed in Astragalus-Daphnae (38. 85 gC/m2 y-1) and Artemisia sieberi-Scariola (4 g C/m2 y-1) vegetation types with maximum (0. 13 g C (MJ)-1) and minimum (0. 005 g C (MJ)-1) LUE, respectively. The amount of RUE decreased in degraded rangelands. Moreover, the correlation between field measurements and the CASA model decreased in semiarid warm climate and degraded rangelands. Therefore, rangeland conditions, vegetation type and climate condition must be taken into consideration in NPP monitoring and rangelands management.
