MC2: Dynamic Global Vegetation Model

Abstract

The MC2 dynamic global vegetation model (DGVM) simulates ecosystem processes and their response to climate change. It has been used in a wide range of climate model and assessment applications, from fire severity to the economics of timber harvest. This fact sheet offers a brief summary of the model itself along with a sample of the range of work MC2 has been used in.
