Model

Wild Life Model (WildLife)

While the full model is under review and development, this is an abbreviated description of its main purpose, components, assumptions, and variables, but without some details and equations.
Agriculture, Forestry, and Ecosystem Services (AFE)
Dataset

Foodscapes - A global clustering of terrestrial food production systems (Foodscapes)

A set of global zoning layers are provided that identify broad homologues of foodscape classes. These are comparable in a minimum set of biophysical and management characteristics and can help to plan for possible interventions and leverage points for more sustainable agriculture.
Exploratory Modeling of Human-natural Systems (EM) Biodiversity, Ecology, and Conservation (BEC) Agriculture, Forestry, and Ecosystem Services (AFE) United States of America
Model

Wildfire climate impacts and adaptation model (FLAM)

A model to reproduce historical wildfire events and to project future burned areas, as well as to assess climate change impacts and adaptation options.
Advancing Systems Analysis (ASA) Exploratory Modeling of Human-natural Systems (EM) Biodiversity and Natural Resources (BNR) Agriculture, Forestry, and Ecosystem Services (AFE)
Dataset

Hybrid Land Cover of Russia (HLCR)

A system integration of ground and remote sensing data that parametrizes Russian territory at a 1km spatial resolution for forests and includes tree species, age, and biomass distribution.
Biodiversity and Natural Resources (BNR) Agriculture, Forestry, and Ecosystem Services (AFE) Russian Federation
Model

BeWhere Model: A Spatially Explicit System Optimization Tool

BeWhere is a spatially explicit, bottom-up, techno-economic, system optimization model designed to support cost-effective, low-carbon system transitions at the supply chain level.

Model

Global Forest Model (G4M)

A model estimating forest growth, stock, harvest amount and comparing incomes from forestry and alternative land uses on a global scale.

Global Agro-Ecological Zones (GAEZ)

A tool for detailed assessment of available resources to support policymakers developing national, regional, and global strategies for the sustainable production of food
Biodiversity and Natural Resources (BNR) Water Security (WAT) Agriculture, Forestry, and Ecosystem Services (AFE)

System Integration Impact Assessment (SIIA)

The SIIA framework combines principles from technology assessment ("Technikfolgenabschätzung") with process and systems engineering across all life cycle stages. Its core focus is on the integration of processes, systems, and sectors; the role of storages, batteries, and securities in temporal integration; and the interaction of networks, grids, infrastructure and trade routes for spatial integration.
