One-line model description	DVMDOSTEM is an advanced process-based terrestrial ecosystem model (TEM) designed to study ecosystem responses to climate changes and disturbances.
Extended model description	DVMDOSTEM is an advanced process-based terrestrial ecosystem model (TEM) designed to study ecosystem responses to climate changes and disturbances. It has a particular focus on permafrost regions (i.e. regions characterized by soils that stay partially frozen all year round for at least two consecutive years), encompassing boreal, arctic, and alpine landscapes. DVMDOSTEM is designed to simulate the key biophysical and biogeochemical processes between the soil, the vegetation and the atmosphere.

Keywords:	biophysical processes, biogeochemical processes, ecosystem model,
