En el contexto del cambio climático, comprender la dinámica del carbono y representar correctamente los intercambios que ocurren entre la biosfera y la atmósfera resulta de gran relevancia. La producción primaria bruta (GPP) representa la asimilación de dióxido de carbono realizada por los ecosistemas a través del proceso de fotosíntesis. En este trabajo se evalúa la eficacia del producto MOD17A2H de MODIS para estimar GPP en la región pampeana argentina, comparándolo con datos obtenidos mediante la técnica de covarianzas turbulentas (EC). Los resultados muestran que MODIS estima adecuadamente el GPP en algunos sitios naturales homogéneos, explicando hasta el 77% de la varianza sobre una marisma salada en la costa bonaerense. Sin embargo, en sitios agrícolas y heterogéneos, las estimaciones presentan mayores limitaciones. Las diferencias se deben a la limitada extensión horizontal de algunos lotes con cultivos y a deficiencias en la calibración utilizada en MODIS, que podría no representar adecuadamente a los ecosistemas de nuestra región. En conclusión, las estimaciones de GPP de MOD17A2H deben interpretarse con cautela, asegurando que la señal del ecosistema de interés se comprenda correctamente. Por otro lado, se resalta la importancia de contar con observaciones in situ adicionales que permitan caracterizar de forma precisa los biomas presentes en la región estudiada.

Such assignment means, on the one hand, that after its publication (postprint) in the GEOACTA Magazine of the Association of Geophysicists and Geodesists, the authors can publish their work in any language, medium and format (in such cases, it is requested that it be recorded that the material was originally published in this journal); on the other, the authorization of the authors for the work to be harvested by SEDICI, the institutional repository of the National University of La Plata, and to be disseminated in the databases that the editorial team considers appropriate to increase visibility. of the publication and its authors.
Likewise, the journal encourages the authors so that after their publication in the Journal of the Association of Geophysicists and Geodesists, they deposit their productions in other institutional and thematic repositories, under the principle that offering society scientific production and Unrestricted academic scholarship contributes to a greater exchange of global knowledge.
