Abstract

We parametrize the maintenance respiration of a single tree depending on reference climate parameters (light, temperature and precipitation) and the observed stem diameter increase resulting from that climate. The simulated biomass increment results from photosynthesis under the given climate scenario and is then reduced by maintenance and growth respiration. We incorporate this new carbon allocation algorithm into the established individual based gap model FORMIND to reproduce the biomass development of typical central European forest stands.
