Interactive comment on “Modelling the climatic drivers determining photosynthesis and carbon allocation in evergreen Mediterranean forests
General comment The paper of Gea-Izquierdo et al. is an interesting exercise of calibrating a process-based model to forecast uptake and allocation of carbon by using a combination of eddy covariance CO2 flux data, dendrochronological time series of secondary growth and forest inventory data as raw data. I recognize process-based models are very complex, and of difficult implementation because ...
متن کاملPattern and control of biomass allocation across global forest ecosystems
The underground part of a tree is an important carbon sink in forest ecosystems. Understanding biomass allocation between the below- and aboveground parts (root:shoot ratios) is necessary for estimation of the underground biomass and carbon pool. Nevertheless, large-scale biomass allocation patterns and their control mechanisms are not well identified. In this study, a large database of global ...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Modelling the climatic drivers determining photosynthesis and carbon allocation in evergreen Mediterranean forests
Gea-Izquierdo et al. present a landscape-scale biogeochemical model for the exchange of carbon over forest ecosystems. They describe adaptations to the basic model formulation to try and better represent the assimilation of carbon and its allocation within the tree. Key aspects of their formulation are the incorporation of nonstructural carbohydrate storage and the medium-term acclimation of ph...
متن کاملBiogeographical patterns of biomass allocation in leaves, stems, and roots in China’s forests
To test whether there are general patterns in biomass partitioning in relation to environmental variation when stand biomass is considered, we investigated biomass allocation in leaves, stems, and roots in China's forests using both the national forest inventory data (2004-2008) and our field measurements (2011-2012). Distribution patterns of leaf, stem, and root biomass showed significantly di...
متن کاملCarbon allocation in boreal black spruce forests across regions varying in soil temperature and precipitation
A common hypothesis for northern ecosystems is that low soil temperatures inhibit plant productivity. To address this hypothesis, we reviewed how separate components of ecosystem carbon (C) cycling varied along a soil temperature gradient for nine welldrained, relatively productive boreal black spruce (Picea marianaMill. [B.S.P.]) forests in Alaska, USA, and Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Canada. A...
