Modelling the carbon budget of intensive forest monitoring sites in Germany using the simulation model BIOME-BGC

doi:10.3832/ifor0475-002

It is shown that by calibrating the simulation model BIOME-BGC with mandatory and optional Level II data, within the ICP Forest programme, a well-founded calculation of the carbon budget of forest stands is achievable and, based on succeeded calibration, the modified BIOME-BGC model is a useful tool to assess the effect of climate change on forest ecosystems.
