|Description=[[LPJmL model|LPJmL]] is the vegetation, hydrology and agricultural model in IMAGE 3.0 and consists of the three components: [[Natural vegetation and carbon cycle]], [[Crop and grass]], [[Hydrological cycle]].


Within the Earth system, the terrestrial biosphere is the component that is most visibly impacted by human activity. Large parts of the land surface and the terrestrial vegetation have been converted for human use, such as into cropland or urban areas. Although in previous versions of IMAGE, agriculture, the terrestrial carbon, water and nutrient cycles had been distinct modules, many of the direct interactions could not be sufficiently covered.
