The upper right corner shows the location of the study site in southwestern France, as well as the footprint of Formosat-2 (green square) and Spot (orange square) images (in 2014 and 2012, respectively). The SPOT-4 false color image used as the background shows the flux sites of FR-Aur and FR-Lam (zoomed areas), the network of fields sampled for biomass and yield during the 2011 field campaign (yellow points), and the SAFRAN meteorological grid (black crosses)

Highlights

  • We developed a model estimating the components of the carbon budget for croplands.
  • The model assimilates remote sensing products for up-scaling the carbon budget.
  • Biomass, yield and CO2 fluxes of winter wheat are correctly estimated.
  • Weeds, re-growth and cover crops significantly impact the carbon budgets.
  • Remote sensing data assimilation in crop models is promising for global application.
