GLUES (Global Land Use and technological Evolution Simulator)

Carsten Lemmen

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.
