Simulating impacts of water stress on woody biomass in the southern boreal region of western Canada using a dynamic vegetation model
Abstract
Drought-related dieback of aspen-dominated woodland has been a persistent and possibly increasing phenomenon over recent decades in the southern boreal forests of western Canada. The Integrated BIosphere Simulator (IBIS) dynamic vegetation model was modified for Canadian ecosystems (hence “Can-IBIS”) and used to simulate effects of water stress on the woody biomass of aspen-dominated stands in the boreal mixedwood regions of Saskatchewan and …
