Simulated forest response to chronic air pollution stress

OSTI ID:5296970
A mathematical model, FORET, previously developed to examine successional dynamics of eastern deciduous forests was applied to a study of long-term interactions of air pollution stress and forest community dynamics. Differential levels of growth reduction were applied to trees in three pollution sensitivity classes to simulate changes in biomass of both individual species and the entire forest stand. The model predicts biomass increases of yellow poplar, white oak, black oak, and black cherry. (1 diagram, 9 graphs, 23 references, 1 table)
