Description#

The Global Land Use and technological Evolution Simulator (GLUES) is an Earth system component of land use intensity and demography. GLUES mathematically resolves the dynamics of local human populations´ density and characteristic sociocultural traits in the context of a changing biogeographical environment. A local sociocultural coevolution is described by changes in mean population density, technology, share of agropastoral activities, and economic diversity, within a simulation region of approximately country-size extent. Each local population utilises its regional resources, which are describey by vegetation productivity and climatic constraints. Each local population interacts with its geographical neighbours via trade and migration.
