FVSBGC: a hybrid of the physiological model STAND-BGC and the forest vegetation simulator

Abstract: The physiological model STAND-BGC was linked to the forest vegetation simulator (FVS) as a system extension. With the linked model, an FVS user can invoke STAND-BGC to obtain tree-and stand-level physiological output in addition to standard FVS mensurational output. An FVS user may choose to have increments in diameter, height, crown ratio, and mortality from STAND-BGC replace those generated by FVS. This option essentially replaces the empirical growth engine of FVS with the physiological engine from STAND-BG… Show more

“…Perhaps most relevant is the approach of Milner et al (2003) who developed FVSBGC, a model that linked FVS to the physiology-based model Stand-BGC (Milner and Coble, 1995), which in turn is based on the stand-level model FOREST-BGC (Running and Coughlan, 1988). We found, however, that genetic effects and species viabilities could be incorporated easily into FVS without resorting to the detail needed for FVSBGC.…”

“…However, current work is underway to incorporate the influence of future climate projections into FVS growth predictions (Crookston and Dixon 2005). In addition, research conducted by Milner et al (2003) demonstrated that the FVS could be coupled with a process-based model (Stand-BioGeochemical Cycles; Milner and Coble 1995) to simulate biogeochemical and physiological influences on forest growth and yield.…”

“…A number of recent analyses of models used in forest management have highlighted the need for hybrid approaches that balance the predictive power of empirical models with the generality of process models. (e.g., Pinkard andBattaglia 2001, Peng et al 2002 Milner et al 2003, Robinson and Ek 2003, Seidl et al 2005, Canham et al 2006.…”
