GrasslandTraitSim.jl

A Julia package for simulating grassland dynamics.

Author: Felix Nößler
Licence: GPL-3.0

Please refer to the documentation for more information about the grassland simulation model.

Here are slides from presentations that show concepts of the models:

• European Conference on Ecological Modelling 2023
• Biodiversity Exploratories Assembly 2024

Quick install

1. Download Julia.

2. Launch Julia and type

import Pkg
Pkg.add(url="https://github.com/felixnoessler/GrasslandTraitSim.jl")

Compatibility: The simulations were tested with Julia 1.10. I recommend using this version.

Run simulations

import GrasslandTraitSim as sim

trait_input = sim.input_traits();
nspecies = length(trait_input.amc)
input_obj = sim.validation_input(; plotID = "HEG01", nspecies);
p = sim.SimulationParameter();
sol = sim.solve_prob(; input_obj, p, trait_input);
sol.output.biomass
