Abstract
Methodology to force a two layer carbon dynamical model (CARDYN) for Pinus pinaster forests with Molinia understorey was developed and validated, for the Bray site. Validation was performed, using field measurements of net CO2 exchange at a top-of-canopy level for a Pinus pinaster forest stand at the Bray site. Calculated NEE fluxes obtained with remote sensing derived fAPAR and model forcing at a temporal scale of one day, were compared with before mentioned field measurements of CO2 exchange at canopy level, based on a micrometeorological eddy-covariance technique. On day 218 of year 1992, NEE calculated with CARDYN is −9 gC/m2/d. Measured daily NEE is −5 gC/m2/d at the Bray site. Boundary conditions of the validation plausibility, conclusions and future work will be presented.
