[CO2] on the terrestrial C sink 655 III. Carbon and nutrient storage in plants and its modelling …

The introduction points out the very specific system characteristics of trees and forest stands
which determine the approach and methods to analyse and model forest stand dynamics …

Canada's boreal forests, which occupy approximately 30% of boreal forests worldwide, play
an important role in the global carbon budget. However, there is little quantitative information …

Forest Growth and Yield Modeling synthesizes current scientific literature and provides
insights in how models are constructed. Giving suggestions for future developments, and …

Accurately simulating gross primary productivity (GPP) in terrestrial ecosystem models is
critical because errors in simulated GPP propagate through the model to introduce …

Machine learning, an important branch of artificial intelligence, is increasingly being applied
in sciences such as forest ecology. Here, we review and discuss three commonly used …

Forest ecosystem dynamics emerges from nonlinear interactions between adaptive biotic
agents (ie, individual trees) and their relationship with a spatially and temporally …

Global forests have the potential to significantly increase or reduce atmospheric greenhouse
gas (GHG) concentration. Harvested wood products (HWP) are an important part of the …

Mixed-species forests can sometimes fulfil forest functions and services better than
monocultures and are therefore receiving growing attention in forest science and practice …

Gross primary production (GPP) is partitioned to autotrophic respiration (R a) and net
primary production (NPP), the latter being used to build plant tissues and synthesize non …
