Dead Wood Results
Revision as of 15:27, 16 March 2016 by Peder (talk | contribs) (→Carbon concentration per decay class)
This result group contains: Volume of dead wood per decay class.
Dead wood as a result of dead wood inventory data (if supplied or calculated), occurrence of mortality, and dead wood decay.
Note! All dead wood results refer to the stem part, including bark if any, above ground. Branches, foliage, tree tops, stumps and roots are input to the soil carbon model, i fnot extrcted as bio fuels.
Result variables
Variable name | Unit | Description | |
Carbon in Deadwood | tonnes C/ha | Carbon content in dead wood, based on the biomass (which differs between decay class) in stem and bark. | |
Dead Standing Trees | volume, m3/ha | Volume of dead standing trees. When mortality occurs, part of the trees are assumed stand and part assumed downed. | |
Dead Standing Coniferous Trees | volume, m3/ha | Volume of dead standing trees of pine, spruce and birch. Larch is also included. When mortality occurs, part of the trees are assumed stand and part assumed lying. | |
Dead Standing Deciduous Trees | volume, m3/ha | Volume of dead standing trees of broad-leaved trees. When mortality occurs, part of the trees are assumed stand and part assumed lying. | |
Downed Dead Wood | volume, m3/ha | ||
Downed Dead Wood Coniferous | volume, m3/ha | ||
Downed Dead Wood Deciduous | volume, m3/ha | ||
Volume Decay Class 0-4 | volume, m3/ha | Volume of dead wood in a given decacy class. |
Proportion standing and downed dead wood=
Default decay class distribution
Carbon concentration per decay class
Values are given as percentage (%) of dead wood dry matter. Based on
Decay Class | Pine, Contorta and Larch | Spruce | Birch (and other species) |
