Abstract:

We compared six plant-soil models from the literature which describe the C-dynamics in forests and include climatic forcing explicitly. Given the differences in experimental frames of published simulations it was not possible to trace back behaviour deviations to particular model formulations. In order to make consistent projections of the C cycle's response in forests in a changing climate there remains an urgent need to analyse the models from a structural point of view based on quantitative model comparisons under well defined conditions.
