Assessment of a model of forest dynamics under contrasting climate and disturbance regimes in the Pacific Northwest
The individual-based model FORCLIM simulates forest dynamics in response to climate and natural disturbance (Bugmann, 1996). The FORCLIM “gap model” (sensu Shugart, 1984) is designed to capture the effects of climate regime on forest composition. In projecting forest composition it has performed well in several temperate forest regions (Bugmann & Solomon, 1995), including the Pacific Northwest (Bugmann & Solomon, 2000), where simulated patterns of forest vegetation along climate gradients have agreed well with generalized patterns of composition (e.g. Franklin & Dyrness, 1988). Exploration of how well the FORCLIM model reproduces characteristics of actual forest vegetation in the Pacific Northwest is only beginning (Busing & Solomon, 2004)
