Short Summary

This publication presents the TREED (v1.0) vegetation model code and its associated input data, enabling researchers to simulate vegetation dynamics for present-day validation, past climate scenarios like the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), and studies on eco-evolutionary lags.

Objective

• To make publicly available the TREED (v1.0) vegetation model code and its input datasets for various case studies, including present-day validation, Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) simulations, and investigations into eco-evolutionary lags.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Not explicitly defined in the provided text, but implied to be relevant for regional to global vegetation dynamics.
• Temporal Scale: Contemporary (for validation), Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, approximately 56 million years ago), and long-term eco-evolutionary timescales.

Methodology and Data

• Models used: TREED (v1.0) vegetation model
• Data sources: Input data for the TREED model, organized into case studies for present-day validation, PETM simulations, and eco-evolutionary lag studies. Specific sources (e.g., satellite, observation, reanalysis) are not detailed in the provided text.

Main Results

This publication is a software release; therefore, it does not present research results. The main 'result' is the public availability of the TREED (v1.0) vegetation model code and its associated input data for various case studies.

Contributions

The primary contribution is the open-sourcing of the TREED (v1.0) vegetation model and its accompanying datasets, providing a new tool for the scientific community to conduct research on vegetation dynamics, validate model performance, and explore past climate scenarios and eco-evolutionary processes.

Funding
