Assessing the Carbon Flux Dynamics within Virgin Forests: The Case Study 'Babia hora' in Slovakia
Original language description
Virgin forests provide unique information about natural conditions and forest ecosystem succession dynamics. Such information is needed to assess the carbon sink and source potential of our forests and to evaluate the 'self initialization procedures' within large scale ecosystem models. In this paper we use inventory data from the Babia hora virgin forest in Slovakia to assess the carbon flux dynamics of virgin or old growth Norway spruce (Picea abies L Karst) ecosystems. The species-specific version ofthe biogeochemical-mechanistic ecosystem model BIOME-BGC is applied to assess the flux dynamics of this ecosystem. The comparison of simulated versus observed data is based on the error analysis of the carbon pools. The results confirm previous findingswithin old growth forest ecosystems suggesting that for modeling purposes a "dynamic mortality" model is required to mimic the carbon flux dynamics of such forests correctly.
