One important result of the network strategy is the inclusion of several expert models, in-house or external, to improve and extend the IMAGE framework. In this process, the MAGNET model was included as the agro-economic model in IMAGE, [[GLOBIO model|GLOBIO]] as the biodiversity model, and, most recently, [[LPJmL model|LPJmL]] as the crop, carbon, and hydrology model of IMAGE, and [[CLUE-mondo model|CLUE-mondo]] as the land use dynamics model. And from very early on, [[TIMER model|TIMER]] and [[FAIR model|FAIR]] are distinct modules of IMAGE. Most of these models also have their “own life”, independently from IMAGE, as expert models on agricultural economy, biodiversity, crop, water, land use, energy and climate policy model, and then obviously maintain their own names. When applied together with the rest of IMAGE in a large scenario study, they all together form the IMAGE model framework, and all results are just referred to as IMAGE. As such a construction is susceptible to naming confusion, we distinguish the IMAGE 3.0 core model, comprising all closely coupled parts, physically located at PBL, and the wider IMAGE 3.0 framework. The IMAGE core model consists of the energy modules (the model code of IMAGE/TIMER), and the land use and earth system parts (IMAGE/Land&Climate, also including now LPJmL). The IMAGE 3.0 framework additional includes, depending on the purpose of the study, the models [[MAGNET model|MAGNET]], CLUE-mondo, FAIR, and the impact modules GLOBIO (for biodiversity), [[GLOFRIS model|GLOFRIS]] (flooding), [[GISMO model|GISMO]] (human development). | One important result of the network strategy is the inclusion of several expert models, in-house or external, to improve and extend the IMAGE framework.
