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

Climate warming has increased researchers' interest in plant phenology and its modelling.
Although the main focus is on projections of accelerated springtime phenological events …

The quantitative simulation of gross primary production (GPP) at various spatial and
temporal scales has been a major challenge in quantifying the global carbon cycle. We …

Boreal and temperate trees grow under climatic conditions in which the ambient air
temperature displays pronounced seasonal variation. Unlike herbs and grasses, trees …

Background and Aims Monsi and Saeki (1953) published the first mathematical model of
canopy photosynthesis that was based on the light attenuation within a canopy and a light …

Over two-thirds of terrestrial carbon is stored belowground and a significant amount of
atmospheric CO 2 is respired by roots and microbes in soils. For this analysis, soil …

Assessing the potential future of current forest stands is a key to design conservation
strategies and understanding potential future impacts to ecosystem service supplies. This is …

Process‐based models can be classified into:(a) terrestrial biogeochemical models (TBMs),
which simulate fluxes of carbon, water and nitrogen coupled within terrestrial ecosystems …

Increasing bioenergy production is a significant component of European efforts to mitigate
climate change, but has contested potential for reducing emissions. We use an integrated …

Forest models are instrumental for understanding and projecting the impact of climate
change on forests. A considerable number of forest models have been developed in the last …
