Model description
LPJmL is a dynamic global vegetation, hydrology and crop model, coupling the carbon-, water-, and nitrogen cycles at the plant and soil level. It is based on a generalized Farquhar photosynthesis scheme and stomatal conductance mechanics, functional and allometric rules and can simulate managed and natural ecosystems in given land-use configurations as well as the biogeochemical fluxes between these.
