SSiB (Simple Biosphere Model)
The Simple Biosphere Model (SSiB) is a scientific tool used to simulate how Earth's land surfaces interact with climate. It models processes like how plants absorb sunlight, take in carbon dioxide, and release moisture through transpiration. SSiB helps researchers understand how ecosystems influence weather patterns and climate changes by representing complex interactions between the land surface, vegetation, and atmosphere. It’s used in climate studies and projections to improve our understanding of how land use and natural processes affect the environment over time.
