CONIFER simulates water, carbon, and energy dynamics of a coniferous forest. The model consists of 29 nonlinear difference equations. Driving variables include air temperature, dew point temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, and wind speed. Water and energy variables are updated daily; carbon variables are updated weekly. This report contains a detailed...
This proposal requests support for a highly integrated series of investigations within the Analysis of Ecosystem Program of the United States effort under the international Biological Program. The program for the Coniferous Forest Biome has been approved by the U. S. Executive Committee for the IBP as an integrated research...
This volume results from an experiment in data retrieval. During the initial stage of the Coniferous Forest Biome the authors were asked to provide access to the literature on mammals as it pertained to the interests of the Biome investigation. One constraint was that the total number of entries should...
Three aspects of lotic ecology have been analyzed utilizing data collected from totally autotrophic-based streams maintained by the Weyerhaeuser Company: energy transfer, effects of nitrogen addition, and simulation
modeling. All three streams had very similar periphyton, grazer, collector,
invertebrate predator, and vertebrate predator (fish) communities during
the study period (1972-1974)....

The aquatic modeling group, consisting of Davis, Donaldson, Hall, Higley, Lyford, McIntire, Mullooly, Overton, Strand, Waring, and Warren, met in four 2-hour sessions from July 7 to July 26. The charge to the group was: 1. Define an appropriate internal structure for the aquatic subsystem; 2. Define significant couplings between...
