| 36 | | I experience that the heartwood pool is still accumulating biomass after 500 yr of simulation reaching a stock of appr. 45kg/m2. This is very high compared to estimates of total biomass ranging between 3-15 kg/m2 (Houghton et al. 2005). When using the value for tau_sap of the trunk version of ORCHIDEE (730days) instead of ORCHIDEE-CAN (11680days) the pool reaches after 250 years 5kg/m2 instead of 30kg/m2. Therefore I use now the trunk parameter value. |

Unfortunately, all other vegetation pools are affected also and their stocks are substantially reduced, too. |
