May, 2013. Revising the original G-Range code and applying the model to global rangelands continues in earnest. We anticipate a model available for others to use will be posted in early summer.
April, 2012. The second phase of G-Range development, assessment, and use is underway. Results from a G-Range baseline simulation will be compared to published global patterns, and to specific results from field surveys. A sensitivity analysis will be conducted. The tool will then be used to address questions relevant to rangeland ecology and management across the globe.
August, 2011. The first phase of G-Range development is complete. The software simulates rangeland processes and dynamics across the globe. A report has been produced that reviews the goals of the effort and the results.
