Infrastructure
MERGE researchers are active in using research infrastructure, some of which are partly financed by MERGE.
Some examples of the research infrastructure that is available to our researchers are listed below.
LPJ-GUESS (Lund-Potsdam-Jena General Ecosystem Simulator)
LPJ-GUESS is a process-based dynamic vegetation-terrestrial ecosystem model designed for regional or global studies. Outputs include vegetation composition and cover in terms of major species or plant functional types (PFTs), biomass and soil organic matter carbon pools, leaf area index (LAI), net primary production (NPP), net ecosystem carbon balance, carbon emissions from wildfires, biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), evapotranspiration, runoff, and nitrogen pools and fluxes. The latest version (4.1) includes further outputs and functionalities such as methane emissions, soil nitrogen chemistry, permafrost dynamics, and a new wildfire model.
DataGURU
DataGURU is a tool for researchers to disseminate and find data on climate, land use, biodiversity and related areas.
The tool can also be of value as open data strategy in future applications for research funding. You can share your data with DataGURU – and make sure that your research makes even further use and gets more citations. Regardless of where you put your data, it is easy to tell DataGURU where it is and make it available to DataGURU users.
This work has been commissioned by the strategic research areas BECC and MERGE.
ICOS Sweden
ICOS Sweden is a national research infrastructure, operating stations for greenhouse gas measurements in Sweden.
ACRTIS Sweden
ACTRIS Sweden is a Swedish national research infrastructure with funding from the Swedish Research Council.It is the Swedish national part of the distributed pan-European environmental research infrastructure ACTRIS and strongly linked to ICOS Sweden through co-location of observational sites.
