- The main objectives of the proposed research are (1) filling this critical knowledge gap by (2) synthesizing existing datasets and collecting new field data on C cycling, (3) assimilating this data into the Ecosystem Demography model, which excels at modeling the effect of disturbance on successional dynamics and the C cycle and sub-grid cell scales, and (4) using the HWA-hemlock decline as a data-ready system for the development of a general, forest pest - C cycle framework for ESMs.
