09:00 T. Rötzer (TU Munich): Process-based forest models and the software
BALANCE
–
Introduction
At the beginning
an introduction to process-based modelling and an overview of existing
process-based models is given. The physiological growth model BALANCE will be
explained in detail showing processes, principles and functional chains of all
modules as well as adaptation and validation results. The application of the
model is demonstrated by an example. Some further examples give information
on the reaction of forest growth on changed climate conditions, on the relationships
between carbon dynamics of forest stands and extreme events, as well as on the
influence of forest stand structure on productivity and efficiency.

Capsis
and AmapStudio - Introduction
Integrative software
platforms for empirically-based forest models and for single-plant
functional-structural models will be explained and demonstrated. Both platforms
have a similar software architecture and are free and open-source. They will
also be installed on the students' workstations during the Summer School.
