Small model to simulate biomass production on a global scale. Products are Gross Primary Production (GPP), Net Primary Production (NPP). It is based on a modified version of the Farquhar approach (Haxeltine and Prentice 1996, Farquhar et al. 1980). Where possible, it uses vectorization and parallelization and dynamically downloads latest av

Tool for modelling primary production on a global scale.

Based on a previous study project, restructured and extended to include modern R programming methods & styles.

Installation

To currently use the tool please use

devtools::install_github("jnnsbrr/PhotoBioDynamics")

Functionality and Usage

To apply the model, recent data (Irradiance, FPAR/LAI, Temperature and CO2) can be downloaded and processed by using the getInputData function.
The modelRunner uses the core model functions in modelFun.R to simulate gross primary production (GPP) and net primary production (NPP) on the global scale. The outputs come as monthly gridded time series.
