Vegetation

The Vegetation class contains some vegetation-related data.

In earlier versions of QHG, different vegetation types (grass, shrub, tree) were estimated from climate data, and from them, the net primary production was then calculated.

Newer paleo simulations by Axel Timmermann directly provide Net Primary Production (NPP).

Code:

Public Members

uint m_iNumCells;

Number of cells.

double *m_adBaseANPP;

NPP (kg carbon per suare meter and year) as calculated from climate data.

double *m_adTotalANPP;

Modified NPP: increases due to water in the cell or closenes to the shore.
