Short summary
To simulate the response of grassland plant communities to management and climate change, we developed the computer model GrasslandTraitSim.jl. Unlike other models, it uses measurable plant traits such as height, leaf thinness, and root structure as inputs, rather than hard-to-measure physiological species data. This allows the simulation of many species. The model tracks daily changes in above- and below-ground biomass, plant height, and soil water.
