  • 摘要:Abstract Previous studies suggested that the Amazon, the largest rainforest on Earth, changes from a CO2 sink to a CO2 source during the dry/fire season. However, the biospheric contributions to atmospheric CO2 are not well understood during the two main seasons, the dry/fire season and the wet season. In this article, we utilize Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2 (OCO‐2) Solar‐Induced Fluorescence (SIF) to explore photosynthetic activity during the different seasons. The spatiotemporal variability of OCO‐2 SIF, OCO‐2 CO2, precipitation, and burned area are investigated over the Amazon from September 2014 to December 2019. Averaging over the entire Amazon region, we found a positive temporal correlation (0.94) between OCO‐2 SIF and Global Precipitation Climatology Project precipitation and a negative temporal correlation (−0.64) between OCO‐2 SIF and OCO‐2 CO2, consistent with the fact that precipitation enhances photosynthesis, which results in higher values for SIF and rate of removal of CO2 from the atmosphere above the Amazon region. We also observed seasonality in the spatial variability of these variables within the Amazon region. During the dry/fire (August–October) season, low SIF values, low precipitation, high vapor pressure deficit (VPD), large burned areas, and high atmospheric CO2 are mainly found over the southern Amazon region. In contrast, during the wet season (January–March), high SIF values, high precipitation, low VPD, smaller burned areas, and low CO2 are found over both the central and southern Amazon regions. The seasonal difference in SIF suggests that photosynthetic activity is reduced during the dry/fire season relative to the wet season as a result of low precipitation and high VPD, especially over the southern Amazon region, which will contribute to more CO2 in the atmosphere during the dry/fire season.
