MIROC-INTEG-LAND (MIROC INTEGrated LAND surface model) is an integrated model that combines the land surface component of global climate model MIROC (Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate) with water resources, crop production, land ecosystem, and land-use models. The most significant feature of MIROC-INTEG-LAND is that the land surface model that describes the processes of the energy and water balance, human water management, and crop growth incorporates a land use decision-making model based on economic activities. In MIROC-INTEG-LAND, spatially detailed information regarding water resources and crop yields is reflected in the prediction of future land-use change, which cannot be considered in the conventional integrated assessment models.
MIROC-INTEG-LAND was formerly known as MATSIRO and participated in the ISIMIP FastTrack, 2a and 2b simulation rounds.
