Describe processes represented by the model development of dune landscapes under the interaction between aeolian sand transport and vegetation growth and response
Describe key physical parameters and equations potential sand transport rate, sediment avaliability, vegetation response characteristics
Describe length scale and resolution constraints smallest cell should be equivalent to basic plant element (bush, grass clump)
Describe time scale and resolution constraints lower limit akin to days, no upper limit
Describe any numerical limitations and issues heavy sequential number crunching (not written for parellel processing)
