Does the CBM-CFS3 account for carbon in shrubs and mosses?
Unless the user provides a volume-over-age curve for a shrub or moss component, it is not modeled in the CBM-CFS3. At this time, the model disregards this carbon pool and operates under the assumption that its carbon content is neutral (i.e., as much carbon is lost annually through decay from this pool as is gained through new growth).
