Abstract: In this paper gross primary production (GPP) predicted by FORUG is compared with GPP calculated from eddy covariance measurements for a beech forest in France (Hesse). Two photosynthesis formulations at leaf level are compared: the biochemically supported approach described by Farquhar et al. [Farquhar, G.D., Von Caemmerer, S., Berry, J.A., 1980. A biochemical model of photosynthetic CO2 assimilation in leaves of C3 species. Planta 12B, 549–587] (BCF) and an empirical light response curve (LRC). Five consecutive years (1996–2000) of measured GPP are compared with FORUG model predictions.
