Data on biomass, productivity, and LAI for calibration and parameterization

[Sam Flake]

Hi all,

I'm tuning up an NECN model, and in the process, I put together a spreadsheet with some data from the literature to help me parameterize species and calibrate single-site runs. I figured sharing it might save someone a few hours of reading old articles (there's 25 in the spreadsheet). It's heavy on northern hardwoods and boreal species, at the moment. Find it here:

The GitHub repository is public if people want to contribute more information as they come across it. Or if there's a database that already exists, get in touch and maybe we can combine them together.

Cheers,

Sam
