Note on status model
Date note status model
Incorporated models or components:
Spatial dimensions 3D
Spatial extent Landscape-Scale
Model domain Terrestrial
One-line model description Landscape-scale soil evolution model
Extended model description Simulates soil evolution on three spatial dimensions, explicit particle size distribution and temporal dimension (hence 5D prefix) as a function of:

1. Bedrock and soil physical weathering; 2. Sediment transport by overland flow; 3. Soil Creep (diffusion); 4. Aeolian deposition.

Keywords:
