Stime di produttività forestale a scala regionale

The objective of the present paper was to evaluate the applicability of a widespread biogeochemical model (BIOME-BGC) within Mediterranean enviroments. This required a preliminary calibration phase, which was performed by fitting the relevant monthly Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) outputs to those of a simplified parametric model, C-FIX, which can produce accurate GPP estimates using ancillary and satellite (NDVI) data. After calibration and validation, BIOME-BGC was applied to provide information also about Net Primary Productivity (NPP) and Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) of Tuscany forests.
