Description of 3-PG
Peter SandsCSIRO Forestry and Forest Products and CRC for Sustainable Production Forestry
2
What is 3-PG?
Simple, process-based model to predict growth and development of even-aged stands.
Uses basic mean-monthly climatic data, and simple site factors and soil descriptors.
Generates:foliage, woody tissue and root biomass, conventional stand attributes (volume, BA, stocking),soil water content and water usage.
Runs on monthly time step.
Parameterised using stand-level data.
3
Main Components of 3-PG
Production of biomass – Based on environmental modification of light use efficiency and constant ratio of NPP to GPP.
Biomass partitioning – Affected by growing conditions and tree size.
Stem morality – Based on self-thinning rule.
Soil water balance – A single soil layer model with evapo-transpiration determined from Penman-Monteith equation.
Stand properties – Determined from biomass pools and assumptions about specific leaf area, branch+bark fraction, and wood density.

Observation shows:above-ground production linearly related to intercepted radiationgross production proportional to intercepted radiation.
Slope of these relationships is light use efficiency ε (gDM MJ-1).
This finding is the basis for many simple models.
6
Light Use Efficiency
Light use efficiencyis affected by climatic factors (e.g. temperature) and site factors (e.g. soil-water status)varies seasonally, but annual values more stable.
This concept forms basis of many simple models, e.g.GrowEst grasslands; based on T & soil water; multiplicativePlantGro many crops; many environmental & site factors;
law of the minimum3-PG trees; based on T, VPD, soil water & nutrition;
mainly multiplicative

Calculating Intercepted Radiation
Beer’s law determines light transmitted through canopy. Thus radiation intercepted by the canopy is:

Gross Canopy Production
Putting these together, total gross production by the canopy is
0(1 )kLg CP e Qα −= −
where canopy quantum efficiency αC (mol mol-1)or light use efficiency ε, gDM MJ-1:
measure efficiency of conversion of solar radiation into biomass depend on environmental and site factors.

Respiration assumed to be constant fraction of gross canopy production. Thus net canopy production is:

This is a contentious assumption, which greatly simplifies treatment of respiration.

Stem MortalityBased on self-thinning where average stem weight for current stocking
wSx(N) ≤ wSx0(1000/N)3/2 (kg/tree)
and wSx0 = max. stem weight at 1000 trees ha-1.
If at 1 then wS≤wSx(N) ⇒ no mortality
If at 2 then wS>wSx(N) ⇒ self-thin to 2′

Soil Water Balance
Soil water balance model based on single soil layer.
Uses monthly time steps.
Inputs:rainfall and irrigation
Losses are:interception = fixed % of rainfallevapotranspiration – determined using Penman-Monteith equationexcess over field capacity lost as run off
26
Evapotranspiration
Evapotranspiration is calculated using the Penman-Monteith equation.
Directly affected by VPD and radiation.
Canopy conductance: determined by LAI affected by growth conditions – VPD, soil water and age.
Boundary layer conductance: is assumed constant (0.2 m s-1)
27
Calculation of Stomatal Conductance
Canopy conductance is affected by VPD, soil water and stand age through ϕ (= PhysMod in 3-PG code),and increases with canopy LAI:
