| Summary: | The ecological urban agglomeration around Poyang Lake represents a critical development area in the Yangtze River basin. The spatiotemporal characteristics of the net primary productivity (NPP) of vegetation are explored from the perspective of the city’s functional position, providing important insights for the city to achieve the dual-carbon target and green development. The study evaluates the spatiotemporal variations in NPP from 2003 to 2022 in the eco-urban agglomeration around Poyang Lake, using the CASA model. Its variation characteristics were explored in detail from a completely new perspective and scope using indicators such as cycle amplitudes, CV coefficients, Hurst indices, and others. Results indicate seasonal fluctuations and significant variations between urban areas and vegetation, with implications for sustainable development. The annual NPP ranged from 200 to 800 gC/(m<sup>2</sup>·a), with a change rate of 0.58 gC/(m<sup>2</sup>·a) and evident seasonal fluctuations in the study area. Notably, urban core cities like Jiujiang and Nanchang exhibit lower NPP and decreasing trends. Scenic areas showed high forest cover and vigorous NPP changes, highlighting the need for targeted urban ecological management to enhance green development. Additionally, the seasonal fluctuations in NPP were notably influenced by specific land use types and local economic conditions. In areas with high vegetation cover, the seasonal characteristics of NPP are pronounced, while they are less evident in regions with strong urban economic conditions. |
