The calibration of the JRC EU Forest Carbon Model within the historical period 2010 - 2020
Forest resources play a strategic role within EU policies on climate, energy, environment and bioeconomy. For this reason, since 2012, the JRC has been developing in-house modelling capacities to assess the recent and future development of European forests’ biomass and carbon stocks using the Carbon Budget Model (CBM-CFS3). A new modelling framework, EU-CBM-HAT, has recently been developed to facilitate configuration of future management scenarios (JRC130609). In this document, we describe the calibration of the model integrating new information based both on a recent harmonization effort of ground data collected at national level, and on new data that is provided by Earth Observation systems.
This report describes the input data, harmonization efforts and methodological assumptions applied for calibrating, at country level, the EU-CBM-HAT, and provides a synthesis and a systematic comparison of the main output obtained for the calibration period 2010 - 2020.
