4.1 EcoMods models
Here, you will find all of our working group’s models. For specific questions for each model, please refer to the respective lab member.
4.1.2 MGM
MGM (Macrophyte Growth Model) is a process-based, eco-physiological model simulating the growth of submerged macrophytes under different environmental conditions. MGM is a simplified re-implementation of Charisma 2.0 (van Nes et al. 2003) in Julia language. The model scheme is depicted in 4.1 .
