Abstract

Carbon exchange fluxes of terrestrial ecosystems are expected to depend on the internal dynamics of C stocks in vegetation and soils, on nutrient availability, and on the local climatic conditions/weather. The model structure which we present focuses on the internal dynamics in the living vegetation. The mathematical description is derived from two basic hypotheses: 1) vegetation tends to maximize photosynthesizing tissue, and 2) the relative amounts of C in pools with relatively short and long turnover times are given by allometric relations. The model can be calibrated for any vegetation type in a typical climate under the condition to meet…(more)
