Dear Anna,
thank you for providing us with the detailed response to both reviews.
Reviewer 1, point 2: If you decide to move figures 2 and 3 as suggested by the reviewer to the supplement, please make sure that you adequately describe the validation results in the main text, incl. modelling error or similar, and refer to the respective figures in the supplement.
Reviewer 1, point 3: I find it very important to add a figure illustrating mortality as suggested by the reviewer.
Reviewer 2, discussion on bark thickness of small trees. Please check your text in the discussion if you could add a sentence reflecting the discussion between you and the reviewer. I think it is also informative for the reader of the final manuscript.

With these points considered in the final version of the manuscript, I think the manuscript could be then ready for publications.

Best wishes,
Kirsten.
