An holistic ecosystem simulation model.

Project description

Welcome to the Virtual Ecosystem

codecov pre-commit.ci status

This repository is the home for the development of the Virtual Ecosystem. The Virtual Ecosystem is a project to develop a simulation of all of the major processes involved in a real ecosystem including the:

  • growth and demographic processes of the primary producers within the forest,
  • microclimatic processes within and around the ecosystem,
  • hydrological processes within the canopy, soil and drainage networks,
  • biotic and abiotic processes within the soil, and the
  • growth and demography of heterotrophs.
