Abstract | We describe an initial implementation of land use change drivers in ELM-FATES. LUH2 land use transition data is directly read into ELM and passed to FATES, which creates land use change as a fourth distinct type of disturbance (in addition to existing types: treefall, fire, and logging). Land use is tracked as a categorical variable for FATES patches, which thus acts directly on land use change rates rather than shifts in land cover. We also describe an approach to extend this to prescribed-landcover FATES configurations (“FATES-nocomp”) where both land use and land cover are jointly prescribed. |
