MPeat2D

MPeat2D is a fully coupled mechanical, ecological, and hydrological model of long-term peatland growth in two dimensions, which takes spatial variability and structure into consideration. MPeat2D is developed based on poroelasticity that couples fluid flow and solid deformation. The formulation of MPeat2D is divided into mechanical, ecological, and hydrological submodels.

MPeat2D is the extension of the earlier one-dimensional mechanical-ecohydrological model of peatland growth, called MPeat, that has been published  in the
