In the climate model control table you can configure how the climate and any changes thereof should be simulated.

Climate Model

Allows you to control if climate changes will have impact upon the forest development in the simulations.

ApplyClimateResponse

True implies that climate change responses are used in calculation of trees' growth, False do not.

Adjustments

Allows you to control how climate changes have impact upon certain forest variables in the simulations.

AdjustSiteIndex

True implies that the site index will be adjusted due to climate changes, False do not.

AdjustVegIndex

True implies that the vegetation index will be adjusted due to climate changes, False do not.

AdjustVolume

True implies that the volume, instead of the biomass, will be adjusted due to climate changes, False do not.

ApplyAgeAdjustment

True implies that the age will be adjusted due to climate changes, False do not.

Biomass Response

Allows you to control how climate changes have impact upon the trees' biomass development in the simulations.

SLA Specific Leaf Area of tree species 1 - 9 (other species than the two below can be included).

Pine defines the ratio of projected area of leaves (here needles) and their dry matter, expressed in m2/tonne, for Pinus sylvestris.
Spruce defines the ratio of projected area of leaves (here needles) and their dry matter, expressed in m2/tonne, for Picea abies.

Response Modifier

Allows you to control and modify how climate changes have impact upon the trees' development in the simulations.

CO Intercept of tree species 1 - 9 (other species than the two below can be included).

Pine defines the interception of carbon monoxide, expressed in value range (0, 1), of Pinus sylvestris.
Spruce defines the interception of carbon monoxide, expressed in value range (0, 1), of Picea abies.

VIXmax

Pine defines the maximum value of the vegetation index of Pinus sylvestris.
Spruce defines the maximum value of the vegetation index of Picea abies.

VIXmin

Pine defines the minimum value of the vegetation index of Pinus sylvestris.
Spruce defines the minimum value of the vegetation index of Picea abies.

Climate Scenario

Allows you to choose a scenario to be applied in the simulations.

ECHAM5_A1B defines a certain model regarding the global development of temperature (and population).
