Simulating carbon stocks and fluxes of an African tropical montane forest with an individual-based forest model.

Simulating carbon stocks and fluxes of an African tropical montane forest with an individual-based forest model.

Tropical forests are carbon-dense and highly productive ecosystems. Consequently, they play an important role in the global carbon cycle. In the present study we used an individual-based forest model (FORMIND) to analyze the carbon balances of a tropical forest. The main processes of this model are...
