|---|---|---|
| ForOp | A model under development to describe and assess forest operations related to silvicultural schedules simulated by a growth model. Keywords: forest operations, silviculture, wood production, wood supply, environmental assessment | (UMR SILVA, Nancy), Thomas Bronner, July 2023 |
| Walsi | A forest dynamics model adapted to South Belgium (Wallonia). Keywords: stand level, ecosystem services | , Gauthier Ligot (University of Liège, Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech) January 2023 |
| C-Stability | A modeling framework to leverage the continuous representation of organic matter. This Carbon Substrate Targeted AccessiBILITY (C-STABILITY) model is driven by microbial activity and combines compartmental and continuous approaches. The substrate is split into biochemical classes, separating pools accessible to enzymes from inaccessible ones. Within each pool a continuous approach is implemented to describe the level of substrate polymerization. The model distinguishes between substrate accessibility to microbe uptake and substrate accessibility to enzymes. Over time the enzyme-accessible substrate is fragmented and depolymerized until it eventually becomes accessible to microbe uptake. Part of the taken up substrate is assimilated by decomposers and its biochemistry is modified by decomposer anabolism.

| Runaway | This module investigates the evolution of correlation between traits under sexual selection in a theoretical population of organisms with a special attention on genome dynamics (number of loci, allelic diversity, mutation, drift, selection and linkage). It models a simple tradeoff between survival and energy devoted to reproduction, and a secondary tradeoff between gametic investment, phenotypic investment, and preference investment. These four traits are under genetic control, and energy devoted to reproduction limits the three other traits. The purpose is to explore the conditions for traits evolution and correlations and the evolution of their genomic structure. | (UMR Ecobiop, Saint-Pée sur Nivelle) September 2013 |

| PhysioDemo Genetics | PhysioDemoGenetics aims at studying the genetic adaptation through natural selection driven by climatic variables in a continuous tree population. It relies on (1) explicit modelling of the genetic determinism of ecophysiology-related traits and (2) the coupling of ecophysiological processes at tree level (implemented in the Castanea library in Capsis) with dynamical processes (dispersal, growth, mortality) and genetic processes (implemented in the Genetics library in Capsis). PDG-Arena is a variant of PhysioDemoGenetics which aims at simulating the functioning of mixed stands.

| Hi-sAFe | A module for agroforestry, designed to model tree-tree and tree-crop competition in 3D. Includes competition for light, water and nitrogen at the day time-step, and some plasticity mechanisms including root plasticity in 3D (cellular automata). The crop is modeled with the STICS crop model (INRA CSE, Avignon) that is dynamically run from Hi-sAFe in java: connexion with a C version of STICS (Java Native Interface technology).
