ECOFUN

ISPA is developing several tools for modeling mass (water, nutrients, trace elements, aerosols, etc.) and energy transfers in soils and plant cover. These different modeling tools address a range of spatio-temporal scales, from the soil-plant interface to the continental scale, and from fractions of a second to several decades.

One such model is MuSICA, which describes the microclimate and mass and energy exchanges in mixed canopies, right through to the allocation of carbon reserves in plant biomass. More about MuSICA
