Remotely sensed vegetation indices such as the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) or enhanced vegetation index (EVI) have been used to scale up flux-based gross primary production (GPP) measurements. Recently, the use of visible-band (VIS) indices for estimation of GPP has been proposed, and VIS_indices derived from digital cameras have been used for detecting phenological changes. To confirm the utility of remotely sensed VIS_indices for the evaluation of GPP in a Japanese larch forest, we investigated the relationships between flux-based GPP measurements and indices derived from both moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) data and tower-mounted digital camera images. We evaluated the suitability of both traditional (NDVI and EVI) and VIS_indices (the greenred vegetation index (GRVI) and green ratio (GR)) at both satellite and near-surface scales for GPP estimation. We also used the MODIS data to evaluate the sensitivity of the indices to the effects of a severe forest disturbance. The results showed that VIS_indices had several advantages over the traditional indices: (1) seasonal variations in VIS_indices were more strongly correlated with GPP variations; (2) the vegetation growing season could be easily discriminated from the winter dormant period, because ground surface conditions affect VIS_indices less than they affect traditional indices; (3) the seasonal dynamics of vegetation could be determined at a satellite scale from MODIS data, and possibly even at a canopy scale from digital camera images; and (4) inter-annual variations of VIS_indices were likely to be more sensitive to vegetation changes after a disturbance. These results demonstrate the utility of VIS_indices for estimating GPP at satellite scales and possibly at the canopy scale. We suggest that multi-scale visible-band remote sensing could help our understanding of the ecosystem by improving the temporal and spatial resolutions of satellite data.
