Spin-up

Was a spin-up performed?: Yes

Spin-up design: 500 spinup cycles of 20 years starting from 1861 CO2 concentrations.

Natural Vegetation

Natural vegetation partition: JULES uses a fraction file that specifies where the natural vegetation pfts occur.

Natural vegetation dynamics: TRIFFID dynamics allow competed vegetation to change the landcover.

Management & Adaptation Measures

Management: Crops and pastures are defined from by ISIMIP2b inputs.

Soil

Soil layers: 4 soil layers at 01,0.25,0.65 and 2m

Routing

Runoff routing: TRIP routing model

Routing data: TRIP

Dams & Reservoirs

Dam and reservoir implementation: N/A

Calibration

Was the model calibrated?: No

Vegetation

Is co2 fertilisation accounted for?: Yes

How is vegetation represented?: TRIFFID
