•A severe dust event was simulated by the WRF–Chem model.•Dust aerosols generally had a negative impact on GPP.•Dust aerosols reduced GPP exceeding 10% in some areas.•Changes in GPP were caused by interactions among various factors. Sand and dust storm (SDS) is disastrous weather phenomenon on a glo...
