We examined factors controlling temporal changes in net ecosystem production (NEP) in a high Arctic polar semi-desert ecosystem in the snow-free season. We examined the relationships between NEP and biotic and abiotic factors in a dominant plant community (Salix polaris–moss) in the Norwegian high Arctic. Just after snowmelt in early July, the ecosystem released CO2into the atmosphere. A few days after snowmelt, however, the ecosystem became a CO2sink as the leaves ofS.polarisdeveloped. Diurnal changes in NEP mirrored changes in light incidence (photosynthetic photon flux density, PPFD) in summer. NEP was significantly correlated with PPFD whenS.polarishad fully developed leaves, i.e., high photosynthetic activity. In autumn, NEP values decreased asS.polarisunderwent senescence. During this time, CO2was sometimes released into the atmosphere. In wet conditions, moss made a larger contribution to NEP. In fact, the water content of the moss regulated NEP during autumn. Our results indicate that the main factors controlling NEP in summer are coverage and growth ofS.polaris, PPFD, and precipitation. In autumn, the main factor controlling NEP is moss water content.
