The dvm-dos-tem (dvmdostem
) model is a process based bio-geo-chemical
ecosystem model that focuses on C and N dynamics as well as soil thermal
dynamics in high latitude ecosystems.
Whats with the name?
dvm-dos-tem
is short for "Dynamic Vegetation [Model] Dynamic Organic Soil Terrestrial Ecosystem Model". Orignally the model was simply "TEM", and as more logic and capabilities have been added, the name has grown. We still frequently use simply "TEM" because it is less cumbersome for writing and typing.

We are in the process of updating the entire documentation system. There is still info scattered across this README, the wiki, a Google Doc and the Sphinx system but we are working on consolidating the info into primarily the Sphinx system.
