Technically, IMAGE 3.0 and LPJmL are linked through an interface that passes relevant information between the two models in time steps of one year; allowing for close and consistent interaction between them. An even more  direct coupling (e.g. needed to simulate the land-atmosphere interaction in more detail) would require much higher temporal resolutions also in other parts of the model (e.g. the climate module), which is not necessarily congruent with the modelling philosophy of an integrated assessment model. However, the current level of model coupling is not the final stage anticipated here. Ongoing work on implementing nutrient cycles and improved representations of grassland management in LPJmL not only will require further adjustments to other modules of IMAGE 3.0, but will also allow for higher consistency between the modules.
