Abstract:
I would like use Peter Thornton's Biome-BGC model to investigate changes in carbon stocks and fluxes both historically (given known land use histories) and into the future. I would like to provide the readers of this paper an idea of how succession and recovery following catastrophic wildfire might be altered given various management scenarios (salvage, future harvest, continued fire and logging suppression) for this area. At the very least, winters have been experiencing less snowfall with increased rain-on-snow events, and springs seem to be getting wetter in this semiarid ponderosa pine forest.
