Summary Description
em.detail.summaryDescriptionHelp

ABSTRACT: "The FORCLIM model of forest dynamics was tested against field survey data for its ability to simulate basal area and composition of old forests across broad climatic gradients in western Oregon, USA." Author's Description: "The first set of tests involved eight sites on western Oregon transect from west to east… Individual sites were chosen to represent a particular type of potential natural vegetation as described by Franklin and Dyrness (1988)." |
