Foil 52 LMS: Changes in Vegetation

From Gateway: A High Level Interface to High performance Commodity Metacomputing PhD Proposal NPAC -- Sept 23 1999. by Erol Akarsu


1 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.
2 One of the critical parameters of the vegetation model (EDYS) is soil condition at the time of the disturbance.
3 This in turn is dominated by rainfall that possibly occurs at that time (CASC2D simulation)
4 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)
