MC1 is a widely used dynamic global vegetation model (DGVM) that has been used to simulate potential vegetation shifts in National Parks (NPs) such as Wind Cave NP and Yosemite NP, across various states such as California and Alaska, over the entire continent of North America, and even over the enti...
