How do GPP and R change with age? A fundamental theory in ecological succession Model A: modified from Odum 1967 Model B: modified from Ryan et al. 1997
How do GPP and R change with age? We are not able to quantify the changes of GPP and R with age. Therefore, most of ecosystem carbon models are not able to include age as a driving variable.
ChEAS sites More clearcut and wetland sites?
NEE, GEP and R vs. age in ChEAS sites 2002-2003 data
