Current Projects and Future Development

Ongoing projects and developments:

Data-constrained carboxylation limitation by the maximum electron transport rate (J_max) and by the triose phosphate utilization (TPU).
Hydrological routing between sites and patches based on TOPMODEL
New Plant Functional Types for boreal ecosystems and shrublands
Tropical lianas, and mechanisms to represent liana-host competition.
Trait plasticity
Hydraulic failure mortality
Sub-lethal damage (branch fall)
Heterogeneous patch-level illumination due to variations in canopy height
Data-constrained Selective logging
Process-based fire model based on SPITFIRE and HESFIRE.

Below is a list of related model development projects that use the ED model or are based on ED.
