Metla Project 3323

Modelling forest carbon cycles

Duration: 2001-2006   Keywords: carbon flux, carbon pool, carbon sequestration, global climate change, process modelling
Research Programme: Pools and fluxes of carbon in Finnish forests and their socio-economic implications

Objectives

• to develop dynamic and mechanistic carbon cycling models that will work at varying spatial and temporal scales
• to simulate the impact of various forest management scenarios in connection with environmental (climatic) change on carbon pools and fluxes in order to predict their socioeconomic and political implications
