Modelling natural disturbances in forest ecosystems: a review
Original language description
We review the modelling of natural disturbances in forests, addressing the full spectrum of disturbance modelling from single events to integrated regimes. We applied a process-based framework founded in disturbance ecology to analyze modelling approaches for drought, wind, forest fires, insect pests and ungulate browsing. We reviewed the approaches by disturbance agent and mechanism, and found that over the 15 years their number has increased. Yet, statistical concepts still prevail, although the mechanistic concepts are crucial for understanding and coping with forest change. Current challenges for disturbance modelling in forest ecosystems are (1) to overcome remaining limits in process understanding, (2) to further a mechanistic foundation in disturbance modelling, (3) to integrate multiple disturbance processes in dynamic ecosystem models for decision support in forest management, (4) to bring together scaling capabilities across several levels of organization to represent system
