LPJ-GUESS 3.0 news (since 2.1) ============================== These are the most important functional changes you'll notice when switching from LPJ-GUESS 2.1 to 3.0. Apart from this, numerous bugfixes, adjustments and technical improvements have been made. For a full history, refer to the Subversion history. * The Nitrogen cycle was added. * Simulation of BVOC emissions. The model can generate annual and monthly isoprene and monoterpene fluxes. * Diurnal mode. Some of the canopy exchange processes can now run on a sub- daily timestep. * Support for reading climate forcing data from NetCDF files. The NetCDF files must conform to the CF metadata standard. * The new Gridcell class is now the top level structure. A gridcell corresponds to a geographic location and may contain one or several stands. Different stands are typically used to simulate different landcover types. Only the landcover type for natural vegetation is supported by the standard LPJ-GUESS version. * Instruction files can import other instruction files. This makes it easier to maintain ins files for multiple similar setups. * Functionality for saving the model's current state to file and restarting. * Code documentation can now be generated with Doxygen. * Improved benchmarks system with HTML reports.
