Simplified illustration of the main software structure of the Land Sites Platform.

This paper present the Land Site Plateform (LSP), a new software, which aims to make easier the use of Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), for example, to predict how terrestrial plants interact with climate, soils, disturbance and competition for resources. The LSP makes standard model experiments with default data easily achievable (e.g., for educational or introductory purposes) while retaining flexibility for more advanced scientific uses.
