abstract = "Several studies have explored the linkages between phenology and
ecosystem productivity across the Amazon basin. However, few
studies have focused on flooded forests, which correspond to c.a.
14% of the basin. In this study, we assessed the seasonality of
ecosystem productivity (gross primary productivity, GPP) from eddy
covariance measurements, environmental drivers and phenological
patterns obtained from the field (leaf litter mass) and satellite
measurements (enhanced vegetation index (EVI) from the Moderate
Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer/multi-angle implementation
correction (MODIS/MAIAC)) in an Amazonian floodplain forest. We
found that ecosystem productivity is limited by soil moisture in
two different ways. During the flooded period, the excess of water
limits GPP (Spearmans correlation; rho = \−0.22), while
during non-flooded months, GPP is positively associated with soil
moisture (rho = 0.34). However, GPP is maximized when cumulative
water deficit (CWD) increases (rho = 0.81), indicating that GPP is
dependent on the amount of water available. EVI was positively
associated with leaf litter mass (Pearsons correlation; r = 0.55)
and with GPP (r = 0.50), suggesting a coupling between new leaf
production and the phenology of photosynthetic capacity,
decreasing both at the peak of the flooded period and at the end
of the dry season. EVI was able to describe the inter-annual
variations on forest responses to environmental drivers, which
have changed during an observed El Niņo-Southern Oscillation
(ENSO) year (2015/2016).",
