Coniferous Forest Biome, University of Washington, Knopf, Pearl The Coniferous Forest Biome has access to several strip chart recorders but is definitely limited with respect to data-logging equipment. The methodology reported in this paper interfaces the common strip chart with the Coniferous Forest Biome Information bank storage system by converting the strip chart data to card image data on magnetic tape. This conversion allows computer analysis to proceed without further data preparation costs.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: An analytical model for gas exchange studies of photosynthesis Author: Hamerly, Eddie R., U.S. International Biological Program. Coniferous Forest Biome, Reed, Kenneth Lee, 1942-, Dinger, Blaine E. (Blaine Elroy), 1941-, University of Washington A steady-state model designed especially for analysis of gas exchange studies of terrestrial net photosynthesis is discussed. The model expresses net photosynthesis as a function of light, temperature, CO₂ concentration, stomatal resistance, and other factors. The parameters of the model are estimated from data by nonlinear least-squares. The data set must consist of simultaneous observations of net photosynthesis, light energy, leaf temperature, and leaf resistance. The model accounted for 89% of the variance in the data set and gave good predictions of photosynthesis. This model can be used for data analysis and as a process model for simulation.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Coniferous Biome implementation of grasslands biome program SIMCOMP Author: Hamerly, Eddie R., U.S. International Biological Program. Coniferous Forest Biome, University of Washington SIMCOMP is a computer programming system which is designed to aid biologists with a limited knowledge of FORTRAN programming to design and execute compartment-flow simulations. The system is designed to minimize the programming overhead required by any computer language while maintaining sufficient flexibility of FORTRAN. This flexibility does allow interfacing of high- and low-resolution submodels. The Coniferous Biome work has been directed toward ease in use and cost reduction. The following modifications have cut initial computer setup costs by two thirds ($8 per run on the University of Washington CDC 6400) and have reduced the number of user-supplied control cards to four.
