Short summary
We describe TROLL 4.0, a simulator of forest dynamics that represents trees in a virtual space at 1 m resolution. Tree birth, growth, and death and the underlying physiological processes such as carbon assimilation, water transpiration, and leaf phenology depend on plant traits that are measured in the field for many individuals and species. The model is thus capable of jointly simulating forest structure, diversity, and ecosystem functioning, a major challenge in modelling vegetation dynamics.
