Calibrating a process-based simulation model for the Acadian forest region by Susan Willis, A. R. Taylor, Dominik Thom, L. D’Orangeville

“…For the first time, 18 tree species were parameterized and calibrated for the AFR and model performance was evaluated against independent field observations at the tree population and stand level. iLand was able to accurately emulate the dynamics of individual tree species populations as well as the succession of mixed-species forest stands across a range of soil conditions and is now ready to be used to simulate future forest dynamics of the AFR. …”
