FUTURES<\/h3>\n \n\n \n\t \t

FUTURES, or FUTure Urban-Regional Environment Simulation, is an open source urban growth model designed to address the regional-scale ecological and environmental impacts of urbanization. It is one of the few land change models developed to explicitly capture the spatial structure of development.<\/p>\n\t \t \n

LANDIS-II<\/h3>\n \n\n \n\t \t

The LANDIS-II model simulates landscape change as a function of disturbance (e.g., fire, wind, insects), forest management, land use change, and succession. Climate change effects are integrated throughout the model. The model is highly customizable with dozens of libraries (‘extensions’) to choose from.<\/p>\n\t \t \n
