An evaluation of multi-species empirical tree mortality algorithms for dynamic vegetation modelling

Abstract Tree mortality is key for projecting forest dynamics, but difficult to portray in dynamic vegetation models (DVMs). Empirical mortality algorithms (MAs) are often considered promising, but little is known about DVM robustness when employing MAs of various structures and origins for multiple...
