LPJ (Lund-Potsdam-Jena Managed Land)

LPJ (Lund-Potsdam-Jena Managed Land) is a computer model that simulates how land ecosystems, including forests, grasslands, and crops, grow and change over time. It considers factors like climate, soil, and human land use to predict how vegetation responds to environmental conditions. By analyzing these interactions, LPJ helps scientists understand impacts of climate change, land management, and deforestation on natural and agricultural landscapes, supporting informed decisions for sustainable land use and conservation.
