  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Conifer : a model of carbon and water flow through a coniferous forest : revised documentation Author: Sollins, P., Brown, Alfred T., U.S. International Biological Program. Coniferous Forest Biome, Swartzman, G. L. (Gordon L.) CONIFER simulates water, carbon, and energy dynamics of a coniferous forest. The model consists of 29 nonlinear difference equations. Measured driving variables include air temperature, dew point temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, and wind speed. Water and energy variables are updated daily; carbon variables are updated weekly. This report contains a detailed description of the model including all equations, parameter values, and initial conditions. Cross-reference tables list the equations in which each variable and parameter appear. Listings of the driving variable data, computer implementation, and corresponding output are also provided. Information sources and model behavior are discussed elsewhere.
