Modelling the net primary productivity of temperate forest ecosystems in China with a GAP model
The dynamics of net primary productivity (NPP) and biomass of temperate forests Northeastern China was examined by comparing field data with simulation results from the ZELIG model. For broad-leaf/Korean pine mixed forests, biomass was estimated between 198 and 370 Mg ha (dry weight), and NPP was estimated at 8–20 Mg ha per year (dry weight). The simulation results indicate that NPP in mixed fo...
متن کاملThe New Zealand Rain Forest: A Comparison with Tropical Rain Forest!
The structure of and growth forms and habits exhibited by the New Zealand rain forest are described and compared with those of lowland tropical rain forest. Theories relating to the frequent regeneration failure of the forest dominants are outlined. The floristic affinities of the forest type are discussed and it is suggested that two main elements can be recognized-lowland tropical and montane...
متن کاملSeasonal dynamics of arboreal spider diversity in a temperate forest
Measuring and estimating biodiversity patterns is a fundamental task of the scientist working to support conservation and inform management decisions. Most biodiversity studies in temperate regions were often carried out over a very short period of time (e.g., a single season) and it is often-at least tacitly-assumed that these short-term findings are representative of long-term general pattern...

متن کاملA hierarchical approach for simulating northern forest dynamics
Complexity in ecological systems has challenged forest simulation modelers for years, resulting in a number of approaches with varying degrees of success. Arguments in favor of hierarchical modeling are made, especially for considering a complex environmental issue like widespread eastern hemlock regeneration failure. We present the philosophy and basic framework for the NORTHern Woodland Dynam...
