Canadian Model for Peatlands version 1.0 : a model design document / C.H. Shaw ... [et al.].: Fo133-1/425E-PDF
A three-year forested peatland modeling project, funded by the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement, was developed in response to the need for national-scale greenhouse gas estimates from the extensive peatlands in Canada’s forested area. This document describes the design plan for one component of the project: version 1.0 of the Canadian Model for Peatlands (CaMP v1.0). The CaMP v1.0 will be developed as a module for the Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector (CBM-CFS), which is used to meet national and international greenhouse gas reporting requirements but currently only accounts for upland forest systems. The CaMP is intended to simulate carbon (C) stock changes and emissions in the top 100 cm of peat, which is most responsive to climatic and edaphic change and most susceptible to anthropogenic and natural disturbances, over contemporary (1990 to present) and future (10 to 100 years ahead) time frames.
