In IMAGE 3.0, the terrestrial carbon cycle and natural vegetation dynamics (Component Carbon cycle and natural vegetation) are modelled with [[LPJmL model|LPJmL]]. This model is used to determine productivity at grid cell level for natural ecosystems and crops on the basis of plant and crop functional types. Key inputs to determine productivity include climate conditions, soil types and assumed technology/ management levels. The model iterates with the agricultural production components as it provides input on potential productivity, while land used for agriculture and forestry is a key input. Changes in land cover, land use and climate at grid cell level have consequences for the carbon cycle, and for crop and grass productivity. | In IMAGE 3.0, the terrestrial carbon cycle and natural vegetation dynamics (Component Carbon cycle and natural vegetation) are modelled with [[LPJmL model|LPJmL]].
