DeltaRCM Vegetation


Metadata

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.

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.
