A decision maker (the end user of the system) wants to evaluate changes in vegetation in a geographical region over a long time period caused by short term disturbances such as a fire or human activity.
|
|
One of the critical parameters of the vegetation model (EDYS) is soil condition at the time of the disturbance.
|
|
This in turn is dominated by rainfall that possibly occurs at that time (CASC2D simulation)
|
|
Input data for the simulations are available from the Internet, such as Data Elevation Models (DEM) from USGS web site or from custom databases (spices characteristics)
