Dynamic global vegetation model
A dynamic global vegetation model is like a computer game where we can pretend we are plants and trees in different parts of the world. These models use a lot of information about the weather, soil, and other things that can affect how plants grow in different areas. By using this information, the models can help scientists understand how the plants and trees are changing and how they might change in the future.
Just like in real life, the plants need water and sunlight to grow, and if they don't get enough of these things, they might not grow very well or even die. The model also helps us understand how different types of plants affect the climate by taking in carbon dioxide from the air and releasing oxygen.
The model keeps track of all the different types of plants and trees in different parts of the world and how they grow and change over time. By looking at these changes, scientists can learn a lot about how our planet is changing and how we can help protect it.
