New species parameters:

SQL code for new species parameters
-- add columns

new XML-section: see fire module.

iLand 0.7

iLand 0.7 is the first version of iLand that includes a disturbance modules. The first of these modules is the wind module. The wind module page describes inter alia the necessary steps to setup the required species parameter table for wind related parameters.

iLand 0.6.9

This iLand version is the version capable of running large scale simulations (read: HJAndrews). It includes advanced management operations (using maps of management) and various other impovements.
The version 0.6.9 is the program version used for the first batch of HJA simulations.

release notes iLand 0.5 alpha

The new release includes new features and several bug-fixes (current svn#: 527). This release includes snag dynamics and carbon/nitrogen cycle including a soil sub model (ICBM/2N). The release needs new XML-settings and new species-settings:

XML (section model.settings and model.site)

XML code - section ''model.settings''

Species parameters

SQL code for new species parameters
-- add columns

alter table species add cnFineroot real;
alter table species add cnWood real;
alter table species add snagKSW real;
alter table species add snagHalfLife real;
-- provide default values
update species set cnFoliage = 75, cnFineroot=40, cnWood=300, snagKSW=0.015, snagHalfLife=15;

release notes iLand 0.4

iLand 0.4 is released on ??? 08/xx/2010 with SVN revision 4xx.
Main achievement of version 0.4 is the implementation of "seed dispersal and regeneration". It includes:

  • production of seeds of mature trees
  • dispersal of the seeds using a two-phase dispersion algorithm
  • the calculation of establishment probabilties using the TACA model
  • the establishment and growth of saplings
  • the recruitmment of sapling-cohorts into the "real" iLand

Species behaviour is controlled by (currently) 20 species parameters.

Other improvements:

  • visualization of regeneration (saplings) in the GUI. Color indicates maximum height of saplings on that pixel.
  • new values in resource-unit-statistics:
    • cohortCount: number of cohorts on RU
    • saplingCount: same as cohortCount (representative N with Reinecke not implemented)
    • saplingAge: mean age of saplings on RU
  • new columns in stand ouput

Debug-Output "Establishment":

RU_index0-based index of resource unit
avgProbDensity mean seed density on RU (avg probability of all seed cells (i.e. 20m) on a RU (100x100m))
TACAminTempabsolute minimum-temperatur, boolean-switch, false: establishment = NO
TACAchillchilling requirement (number of days), boolean-switch, false: establishment = NO
TACAfrostFreenumber of frost-free days, boolean-switch, false: establishment = NO
TACAgddtrue = gdd within thresholds
TACAFrostAfterBudfrostdays after budbirst are counted to the end of vegetation period
TACAAbioticEnvresult after abiotic environment (after multiplication with fEnvYr) (result of tolerance pow(sqrt(frostdays after budbirst)) * fEnvYr)
fEnvYrstill missing: f_ref: parameter that scales response values to the range 0..1 (1 for best growth conditions)
avgLIFValueaverage LIF value of all pixels that are tested for esetablishment. If no pixels were tested, avgLifValue=0.
N_Established number of cells in RU where establishment was successful
Living_cohortsnumber of cohorts on resource unit
averageHeightaverage height of cohorts (the cohort statistics are based on all cohorts that survive, i.e. that do not die or get recruited) (m)
averageAgeaverage age of cohorts (living)
avgDeltaHPotaverage height increment potential (of all "surviving" cohorts) (m)
avgDeltaHRealizedaverage realized height increment (m)
Addednumber of cohorts established in current year on RU
Diednumber of cohorts that died (due to stress) in the current year on RU
Recruitednumber of cohorts that recruited to the iLand-model in the current year on RU
