The Biome-BGC Projects Database & Management System 3.0

The main aims of this Biome-BGC Projects Database & Management System homepage are

• to support users to manage various Biome-BGC ecosystem modelling investigations
• to support developments of ecosystem modelling web services and workflows under the BioVel project (finished & closed). The related scientific workflows can be found at myExperiment site.
• to support developments of an enhenced model, the new Biome-BGCMuSo version 4 (Hidy, Barcza et al. 2016 - see: the official website of recent and previous models).

The Biome-BGC Projects Database & Management System (BBGCDB) was constructed within the frame of the BioVeL project (Biodiversity Virtual e-Laboratory Project, FP7-Infrastructures-2011-2, project number 283359). Model developments were supported by BioVeL also, by GHGEurope (Greenhouse gas management in European land use systems, FP7-ENVIRONMENT, EU contract number 244122), by the Hungarian Scientific Research Fund (OTKA K104816), and by the CarpathCC project (ENV.D.1/FRA/2011/0006). The earlier Biome-BGC version 4.1.1 was provided by the Numerical Terradynamic Simulation Group (NTSG) at the University of Montana. NTSG assumes no responsibility for the proper use of Biome-BGC by others. Biome-BGC v4.1.1 MPI version was kindly provided by Galina Churkina (the MPI version contains model code modifications documented in Trusilova et al. 2009 MPI-BGC Technical Report 16).

Testing of different versions of the model was performed in the desktop grid test environment of the SZTAKI PERL within a partnership agreement. EDGeS@home desktop grid volunteer computing services was provided between 2011-2015 by the IDGF.

The research was funded by the Széchenyi 2020 programme, the European Regional Development Fund and the Hungarian Government (GINOP-2.3.2-15-2016-00028).
