The Frankfurt Biosphere Model: a global process-oriented model of seasonal and long-term CO2 exchange between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. II. Global results for potential vegetation in an assumed equilibrium state

Abstract: Regional variability and seasonal courses of atmospheric CO, provide important clues to the understanding of the carbon exchange fluxes which determine the global carbon budget. We apply the Frankfurt Biosphere Model (FBM) to all 32 vegetation types of a modified global Matthews' vegetation map, simulating seasonal carbon exchange fluxes of the terrestrial ecosystems and their geographical variability on a global scale. For each 0.5" by 0.5" grid element the model calculates gross photosynthesis of the canopy … Show more

“…From a functional perspective, ecosystems could be grouped by their mass and energy exchange or productivity and respiration rates. Applying a more morphologic view, global models of climate change and productivity employ classification schemes by biome or vegetation type, e.g., evergreen needle-leaf forest, deciduous broad-leaf forest (Warnant et al, 1994;Field et al, 1995;Sellers et al, 1996a,b;Kohlmaier et al, 1997). We analyzed seasonal pattern of F GPP and F RE to test the potential to generalize functional characteristics within currently applied classification schemes.…”

“…Some large-scale biogeochemical models have taken a biome-scale approach to calibration. For example, the flux equations of the Frankfurt Biosphere Model (FBM, Kindermann et al 1993, Lüdeke et al 1994, Kohlmaier et al 1997 Melillo et al 1993, Kohlmaier et al 1997. Although FBM uses 0.5°input data to make estimates for each grid cell within a vegetation type, it is not clear where the underlying resolution of the model lies on the continuum between stand-level and biome-level resolution.…”

“…To account for the effects of herbivory on turnover, some carbon is shunted to the surface metabolic pool in proportion to annual NPP . The biomass turnover times were derived from an analysis by Kohlmaier et al (1997), but autotrophic respiration is not calculated; this is an NPP-referenced model.…”
