- Abstract
The article presents a study on the carbon dynamics in north western Portugal. The study was implemented in sampling plots from the National Forest Inventory 2006 for the parameterization and validation of the process level ecosystem model FOREST-Bio Geochemical Cycles (BGC). It says that Trá-os-Montes area is divided into climatic zones such as Hot Zone, Transition Zone, and Cold Zone. It reveals that precipitation variation has a bigger impact in the Cold Zone than temperature change.
