Model:DeltaRCM Vegetation

DeltaRCM Vegetation

Also known as
Model type	Single
Model part of larger framework
Note on status model
Date note status model

Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	2D
Spatial extent
Model domain	Coastal
One-line model description	Delta-building model DeltaRCM expanded to include vegetation
Extended model description	The delta-building model DeltaRCM expanded to included vegetation effects. Vegetation colonizes, grows, and dies, and influences the delta through increasing bank stability and providing resistance to flow. Vegetation was implemented to represent marsh grass type plants, and parameters of stem diameter, carrying capacity, logistic growth rate, and rooting depth can be altered.

Keywords:	delta, vegetation, delta evolution,

Describe input parameters	No files required. Sediment composition, vegetation parameters, SLRR, run time, grid size, water and sediment discharge and other similar parameters can be modified directly within the code.
Input format
Other input format
Describe output parameters	Grids of water surface elevation, discharge, bed elevation, and vegetation density values for each cell. Additionally, sand fraction of each vertical cell within a grid cell.
Output format
Other output format
Pre-processing software needed?	No

Describe processes represented by the model
Describe key physical parameters and equations
Describe length scale and resolution constraints
Describe time scale and resolution constraints
Describe any numerical limitations and issues	Use with high rates of SLR will require additional work on the vegetation rules; currently with both vegetation and high rates of SLR the simple water routing rules are unable to consistently route water to the shoreline.
