LandUse

Land use change: CABLE applications and required capability

This page aims to summarise any applications that are underway or proposed with CABLE which are focussed on or require CABLE to manage land use change. Different applications may need more or less comprehensive land use capability. By capturing the capability needs here, there is the opportunity to coordinate who does what and prevent duplication of effort.

Application	User	Capability	Status/Developer	Timeline
C20C historical simulations. ACCESS1.4 or ACCESS-ESM1. Focus on biophysical not carbon.	ARCCSS	PFT changing in time - input file. ACCESS code reads time-varying veg defined for each pft. Audit of other variables for pft dependence.	Available for CMIP5 cases. Code available in UM. ARCCSS. ARCCSS (and CSIRO-Asp).
Land-use change in ACCESS-ESM1. CMIP5 cases.	CSIRO-Asp	Code for shifting carbon as Mk3L. PFT changing in time - input file. Need delta pft - 2nd input file offset 1 yr. Pass delta pft through to subroutine. Pass output e.g. carbon removed back to UM. Or run outside code but integration with UMUI?	Done - update? Done. CSIRO-Asp. CSIRO-Asp. CSIRO-Asp. Decision required.
Multiple applications		Mapping of land-use change datasets to CABLE pft distribution. Datasets may be only primary/secondary.	CSIRO-Asp. NESP?
Land-use change in ACCESS-ESM2. CMIP6 cases. Assume land-use change dataset provided.	CSIRO-Asp	Initial implementation as ACCESS-ESM1. Add POP to incorporate age distribution.
CABLE/ACCESS participation in LUMIP
Assessing alternate land-use change scenarios. Global, offline and/or ACCESS
Assessing alternate land-use change scenarios. Australia, BIOS framework
Multiple applications. Not strictly land-use but related.		DGVM. Based on POP?
