Structural and physiological changes with stand age : use of a process-based model to compare carbon and water fluxes in young and old-growth Douglas-fir/western hemlock forest stands

Creator:

Licata, Julian A.

Abstract:

Many studies have shown that net primary production in old-growth Douglas-fir/western hemlock forests is lower than in younger forests in similar sites, although the cause is still not clear. One possibility is that overall carbon assimilation, or GPP, is lower in older forests. However, it is difficult to measure GPP...
