A ruin model for trees

A stochastic model of ruin for trees

by P. Yiou and N. Viovy (LSCE, Oct. 2020)

This archive contains the code (in R and sh) to simulate a ruin model for trees. The parameters of the ruin model are based on meteorological observations, from ECA&D (temperature and precipitation).

The R code is provided with an sh script to run in batch on parallel computers.

The code is provided "as is" under a CeCill free licence. It is meant only for use for academic research. For any commercial use, please contact Pascal Yiou (pascal.yiou@lsce.ipsl.fr).

The archive contains:
- R file (ruin_arbre-v2.R) that describes the model
- sh script (ruine_arbre.sh): to run the R code on a parallel computer
- R file (drought_indice.R): to compute a drought index and plot it
- netcdf file with a land surface model simulation forced by ERA5
- two .txt files with temperature and precipitation daily observations
- this README file
