| a comparative analysis of simulated and observed photosynthetic co2 uptake in two coniferous forest canopies. | gross canopy photosynthesis (p(g)) can be simulated with canopy models or retrieved from turbulent carbon dioxide (co2) flux measurements above the forest canopy. we compare the two estimates and illustrate our findings with two case studies. we used the three-dimensional canopy model maestra to simulate p(g) of two spruce forests differing in age and structure. model parameter acquisition and model sensitivity to selected model parameters are described, and modeled results are compared with ind ... | 2006 | 16585031 |
