This study utilized a modeling approach to estimate plant greenness in tidal wetlands within the San Francisco Bay Area, finding that the approach accurately estimated plant greenness but with larger errors in more dynamic restored wetlands, particularly at early post-restoration stages. The modeled EVI can be used as an input variable in greenhouse gas models for estimating carbon sequestration and gross primary production. Future research can further develop this strategy by assessing restoration and management effects on wetland phenological dynamics and incorporating the entire Sentinel-2 time series within Google Earth Engine.
While growth history of vegetation within upland systems is well studied, plant phenology within coastal tidal systems is less understood. Landscape-scale, satellite-derived indicators of plant greenness may not adequately represent seasonality of vegetation biomass and productivity within tidal wetlands due to limitations of cloud cover, satellite temporal frequency, and attenuation of plant signals by tidal flooding. However, understanding plant phenology is necessary to gain insight into aboveground biomass, photosynthetic activity, and carbon sequestration. In this study, we use a modeling approach to estimate plant greenness throughout a year in tidal wetlands located within the San Francisco Bay Area, USA. We used variables such as EVI history, temperature, and elevation to predict plant greenness on a 14-day timestep. We found this approach accurately estimated plant greenness, with larger error observed within more dynamic restored wetlands, particularly at early post-restoration stages. We also found modeled EVI can be used as an input variable into greenhouse gas models, allowing for an estimate of carbon sequestration and gross primary production. Our strategy can be further developed in future research by assessing restoration and management effects on wetland phenological dynamics and through incorporating the entire Sentinel-2 time series once it becomes available within Google Earth Engine.
