| Zusammenfassung |
| We present the lulcc software
package, an object-oriented framework for land use change modelling written
in the R programming language. The contribution of the work is to resolve the
following limitations associated with the current land use change modelling
paradigm: (1) the source code for model implementations is frequently
unavailable, severely compromising the reproducibility of scientific results
and making it impossible for members of the community to improve or adapt
models for their own purposes; (2) ensemble experiments to capture model
structural uncertainty are difficult because of fundamental differences
between implementations of alternative models; and (3) additional software is
required because existing applications frequently perform only the spatial
allocation of change. The package includes a stochastic ordered allocation
procedure as well as an implementation of the CLUE-S algorithm. We
demonstrate its functionality by simulating land use change at the Plum
Island Ecosystems site, using a data set included with the package. It is
envisaged that lulcc will enable future model development and comparison
within an open environment. |
