Schematic view of the carbon flux module in FORMIND. Four main carbon stocks were distinguished: the carbon stored in the living vegetation, deadwood carbon and two types of soil carbon. Between all carbon stocks transition rates were calculated (see Additional file 2: Appendix B.2). Each stock has also a respiration flux to the atmosphere. Additionally, carbon from the atmosphere is stored in the forest due to photosynthesis
