CLUMondo is a forward looking, dynamic simulation model that simulates land system changes in response to various types of exogenously defined demand and endogenously defined transition rules (van Asselen and Verburg, 2013)

Requirements:

  • -knowledge and data of land systems
  • -knowledge of modelling and GIS
  • -GIS software for data preparation and analysis of results

Advantages:

  • -Addresses ecosystem service demand as a driver of land use change
  • -Models land systems as a whole rather than only its appearing land cover

Constraints:

  • na
