Landscape Modeling

Our work involves using LANDIS-II as a framework to simulate fire and climate change impacts on species composition, soil organic carbon, permafrost dynamics and hydrology.

Vegetation

We will use the NECN extension of LANDIS-II to simulate changes in species composition and C cycling

Soils

We will integrate the DAMM-MCNiP model into the NECN extension of LANDIS-II to simulate change in soil C and N cycling

Hydrology/Permafrost

We will integrate SHAW and GIPL into LANDIS-II to simulate changes in energy and water balance, including permafrost dynamics.
