CLUMondo is dynamically linked to IMAGE, and the change in land systems can be used as an additional suitability criterion. Fractions of crops and intensive grasslands from CLUMondo are re-arranged in 30 minutes grid cells to dominant 5 minutes crop cells, which are then given a very high suitability ranking in IMAGE to ensure these cells are converted first. In this way, IMAGE follows the dynamics of CLUMondo in terms of location of new or abandoned agricultural land, and tries to make agricultural areas and agricultural expansion in IMAGE and CLUMondo consistent on a 30 x 30 minutes resolution.

Currently, IMAGE is not using the endogenous intensification calculated by CLUMondo ([[Van Asselen and Verburg, 2013]]) because it is not necessarily consistent and is mostly lower than the intensification calculated by the agro-economic model ([[Agricultural economy]]). At a later stage, intensification in IMAGE and CLUMondo could be made consistent via iterations or closer linkages. For similar reasons, grassland dynamics are not taken from CLUMondo but from the [[Livestock|IMAGE livestock]] and [[Agricultural economy|agro-economic models]].
