A forest growth model Eurobiota was parameterised for 3 eco-climatic zones. The parameter values were derived from process-based forest growth models developed to describe the situation at forest locations within each zone. The model was separately run for conifers and broadleaves on a 30 grid across Europe. Daily climate data covering the period from 1830 to the present and then projected to 2100 were used. European forests were shown to be a net sink of carbon of Pg y-1 at present. The Boreal and Temperate zones are likely to continue at their present rate or more for the next century but the net sink in the Mediterranean zone may become smaller due to projected drier conditions. The effect of temperature using the surrogate of latitude on net ecosystem productivity is also discussed. A complex forest growth model EFM was parameterised for Norway spruce and Scots pine and tested against measurements from 22 forest locations across Europe. This second model showed that the main driver of increased forest growth in the 20th century has been increased nitrogen deposition rather than increased CO2 or climate change as indicated by EuroBiota. Increased growth has led to increased carbon storage in the system but most of it in tree biomass rather than stably sequestered in recalcitrant soil organic matter. Carbon stocks were increased more in Central Europe than in Scandinavia except for some high-fertility sites where N-deposition had little impact. The EFM model was
