Abstract
Carbon exchange between terrestrial ecosystems and environment is paid great attention in recent decades, because it can regulate the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. Photosynthesis is the key process in the carbon cycle. GPP, NPP, and NEP are key variables in carbon cycle study. Thus, accurate estimation of these carbon fluxes is important for understanding the interactions between terrestrial ecosystems and atmosphere. In this chapter, we introduce measuring methods of these carbon fluxes at field scale and estimating models of these carbon fluxes based on remote sensing data at regional or global scale. The processes and key questions in these methods or models are specifically analyzed.
