LANDSYMM

We are a network of research teams who collectively develop LandSyMM: the Land System Modular Model. LandSyMM is a sub-national to global scale model of the land system that couples modules of land use decision making, macro-economics & global trade, ecosystem processes, biodiversity and the climate system. LandSyMM integrates across the human, ecological and biophysical processes of environmental change to further understanding of Earth system dynamics... LandSyMM is unique in coupling a range of spatially-explicit, process-based models to explore land system changes across scales from the landscape (1km resolution) to the globe (0.5° resolution). These models include a socio-economic, land-use model (PLUMv2), a dynamic global vegetation model (LPJ-GUESS), a general ecosystem model of trophic levels (Madingley), a climate system emulator (IMOGEN), and a sub-national behavioural model of land user decision-making (CRAFTY).
