Table 6 Comparisons of inventory-based site C stock changes (∆C 2 ) determined from plot means (live biomass and detrital fluxes), K-MSN scaling mean (standard deviation), and K-MSN with footprint weighting (K-MSN FPW) mean (standard deviation) to estimates of ∑NEP from flux towers and ∑NEP from CBM-CFS3 for the (a) 4-year period 2003–2006 Mg C ha −1 and the (b) mean annual value for each method in Mg C ha −1 yr −1
