The TreeMig framework allows for an easy application of the forest landscape model TreeMig for simulating forest dynamics in space under changing environmental and land use conditions.
Here, case study examples in Switzerland are given that simulate the dynamics and spatial spread of competing tree species in a region in Switzerland, the invasion of a hypothetical invasive tree species, and the control of this species via a management model coupled to TreeMig. The datasets consist of the installation- and GUI starting-script, example environmental input data for Switzerland, the simulation environment, and further R-scripts for running the simulations and plotting the simulation results directly from R and for coupling TreeMig to the forest management model.
