Because future forest mortality can follow different trajectories, Biome-BGC was run with three plausible mortality assumptions. Factorial Analysis of Variance based on Generalized Linear Models was used to dissect the total variability of produced estimates and to determine which factors explained most ...
The boreal forest is the second largest terrestrial biome, and the black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) forest type occupies a large extent of boreal North America. Black spruce communities occur in a variety of environmental conditions and are especially important in the context of climate ...
Therefore, it is uncertain whether the climate change will have a huge impact on forest ecosystems; it is important to study the linkages between forest productivity and tree growth and how forest productivity and tree growth respond to climate change. Both TRW and vegetation index are widely ...
