MC1: Dynamic Vegetation Model
 Entry ID: MC1_Dynamic_Vegetation

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: MC1 is a dynamic vegetation model for estimating the distribution of vegetation
and associated ecosystem fluxes of carbon, nutrients, and water. It was
created to assess the potential impacts of global climate change on ecosystem
structure and function at a wide range of spatial scales from landscape to
global. The model incorporates transient dynamics to make predictions about
the patterns of ecological change. MC1 was created by combining
physiologically based biogeographic rules defined in the MAPSS model with a
modified version of the biogeochemical model, CENTURY. MC1 includes a fire
module, MCFIRE, that mechanistically simulates the occurrence and impacts of
fire events.
