Modeling the environmental and seasonal influence on canopy dynamic and litterfall of even-aged forest ecosystems by a model coupling growth & yield and process-based approaches

The aim is to propose a dynamic model of forest growth and biomass suitable to varied ecosystems with different species, soil types, climate conditions and forest managements. This model is combining different approaches (growth & yield, process-based and biogeochemical cycles) to take into acco...

Description
Summary:The aim is to propose a dynamic model of forest growth and biomass suitable to varied ecosystems with different species, soil types, climate conditions and forest managements. This model is combining different approaches (growth & yield, process-based and biogeochemical cycles) to take into account carbon, water and nutrient cycles and to include several processes such as wood production, transpiration, litterfall, litter decomposition or losses of nutrients by drainage. Such a model is necessary to anticipate and adapt forest management under different environmental and management scenarii (global changes).
