An integrated terrestrial ecosystem carbon-budget model based on changes in disturbance, climate, and atmospheric chemistry

Disturbances (e.g. fire, insect-induced mortality, and harvest) and management practices (e.g. planting) affect the forest carbon (C) cycle, so do non-disturbance climatic and atmospheric factors (e.g. growing season length and temperature, abiotic decomposition factor, annual precipitation, atmospheric CO2 concentration, and nitrogen (N) deposition). Previous studies investigated the effects of these factors individually or in some …
