Carbon flux is the main basis for judging the carbon source/sink of forest ecosystems. Bamboo forests have gained much attention because of their high carbon sequestration capacity. In this study, we used a boreal ecosystem productivity simulator (BEPS) model to simulate the gross primary productivity (GPP) and net primary productivity (NPP) of bamboo forests in China during 2001&ndash:2018, and then explored the spatiotemporal evolution of the carbon fluxes and their response to climatic factors. The results showed that: (1) The simulated and observed GPP values exhibited a good correlation with the determination coefficient (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), and absolute bias (aBIAS) of 0.58, 1.43 g C m&minus:2 day&minus:1, and 1.21 g C m&minus:2 day&minus:1, respectively. (2) During 2001&ndash:2018, GPP and NPP showed fluctuating increasing trends with growth rates of 5.20 g C m&minus:2 yr&minus:1 and 3.88 g C m&minus:2 yr&minus:1, respectively. The spatial distribution characteristics of GPP and NPP were stronger in the south and east than in the north and west. Additionally, the trend slope results showed that GPP and NPP mainly increased, and approximately 30% of the area showed a significant increasing trend. (3) Our study showed that more than half of the area exhibited the fact that the influence of the average annual precipitation had positive effects on GPP and NPP, while the average annual minimum and maximum temperatures had negative effects on GPP and NPP. On a monthly scale, our study also demonstrated that the influence of precipitation on GPP and NPP was higher than that of the influence of temperature on them.
