* * LPJ: Lund Potsdam Dynamic Vegetation Model SPITFIRE: Spread and Intensity of Fire and Emissions Model LPJ SPITFIRE… Above-ground fuel load. SPITFIRE LPJ… Post-fire plant mortality and above-ground biomass unburnt. * * * By-passing the vegetation dynamics and soil hydrology components of LPJ. *
uncalibrated MODIS satellite calibrated
White = 0% disparity Light pink ~ 1% disparity Dark red ~ 20% disparity This gives a basis to further investigate structural and parameterisation problems with the fire model without having to worry too much about errors emanating from the vegetation model itself.
