However, most previous research has only focused on the quantity and spatial distribution of gross primary product (GPP) for the past 50 years because most satellite launches, the main GPP data source, were no earlier than 1980. We identified a close relationship between the tree-ring index (TRI) and vegetation carbon dioxide uptake (as measured by GPP) and then developed a nested TRI-GPP model to reconstruct spatially explicit GPP values since 1895 from seven tree-ring chronologies. The model performance in both phases was acceptable: We chose general regression neural network regression and random forest regression in Phase 1 (1895\u20131937) and Phase 2 (1938\u20131985). With the simulated and real GPP maps, we observed that the GPP for grassland and overall GPP were increasing. The GPP landscape patterns were stable, but in recent years, the GPP\u2019s increasing rate surpassed any other period in the past 130 years. The main local climate driver was the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), and GPP had a significant positive correlation with PDSI in the growing season (June, July, and August). With the GPP maps derived from the nested TRI-GPP model, we can create fine-scale GPP maps to understand vegetation change and carbon uptake over the past century.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16193744","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,9]],"date-time":"2024-10-09T07:39:52Z","timestamp":1728459592000},"page":"3744","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Reconstructing a Fine Resolution Landscape of Annual Gross Primary Product (1895\u20132013) with Tree-Ring Indices"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0348-9812","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hang","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ecosystem Science and Management, University of Northern British Columbia, 3333 University Way, Prince George, BC V2N 4Z9, Canada"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1188-0552","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"James H.","family":"Speer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth and Environmental Systems, Indiana State University, Terre Haute, IN 47804, USA"}]},{"given":"Collins C.","family":"Malubeni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth and Environmental Systems, Indiana State University, Terre Haute, IN 47804, USA"}]},{"given":"Emma","family":"Wilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Earth and Environmental Systems, Indiana State University, Terre Haute, IN 47804, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e2019GL086875","DOI":"10.1029\/2019GL086875","article-title":"Determining the anthropogenic greenhouse gas contribution to the observed intensification of extreme precipitation","volume":"47","author":"Paik","year":"2020","journal-title":"Geophys.
