A Model of Plant Growth and Phosphorus Allocation for Dupontia fisheri in Coastal, Wet-Meadow Tundra

摘要: Primary production in the arctic tundra has been measured and summarized by diverse techniques (Bliss, 1966; Tieszen, 1972; Coyne Kelley, 1975; Miller et al., 1976) related to various environmental factors, such as low temperature, length of growing season, light, water, inorganic nutrients (Tieszen, Stoner Miller, 1972). Usually primary is one or a few factors qualitatively, indeed full quantitative understanding not yet possible. The effects totality their interactions on are difficult study field laboratory impossible conceptualize detail. Computer simulation models can make contribution clarifying aspects system being considered, integrating data concepts these aspects, allowing explorations into consequences concepts. objective this chapter describe model which summarizes much current processes affecting wet meadow Arctic Coastal Plain at level resolution appropriate seasonal multiyear simulations. incorporates phosphorus, plant characteristics.
