The Lund–Potsdam–Jena managed Land (LPJmL) dynamic global vegetation, hydrology and crop model – developments, evaluations and documentation
The Lund–Potsdam–Jena managed Land (LPJmL) dynamic global vegetation, hydrology and crop model – developments, evaluations and documentation
Editor(s): GMD topic editors | Coordinator: Christoph Müller
This special issue is a collection of subsequent extensions and developments of the LPJmL model as well as model evaluation papers. The idea is to have collected in one place all the development stages of the LPJmL model that are described (and will continue to be described) in individual GMD papers.
