Modeling carbon turnover in five terrestrial ecosystems in the Boreal Zone using multiple criteria of acceptance
Article Abstract:
Estimates of carbon fluxes and turnover times for five terrestrial ecosystems are presented using a modeling approach. It is seen that the parameterization method is useful in the estimation of unknown parameters, and to find variability in carbon turnover in a particular ecosystem.
