Herbivory Introduction to LPJ-GUESS

Jens, Almut, Peter and Moritz, together with Mike Harfoot, have published a version of LPJ-GUESS which implements herbivory. The corresponding reduction in leaf biomass is determined by a process-based, dynamic model of the whole trophic pyramid (the Madingley Model). We have advanced the field of integrating animal-vegetation interactions in ecosystem modelling, once again and are proud to present the study here. An application of the presented model system will also enter the peer-review process soon.
