Summary: SSP126 simulation with REMO2020-2-iMOVE-LUC performed on the EURO-CORDEX domain at 0.11 degree resolution, using MPI-ESM1-2-HR SSP126 data as lateral boundary conditions for the years 2015-2100, with annual land use land cover change 2015-2100 from LUCAS LUC dataset Version 1.1. (doi:10.26050/WDCC/LUC_future_landCovChange_v1.0).
REMO-iMOVE-LUC includes interactive Mosaic-based VEgetation and plant functional types (PFTs) and is able to simulate interactions between vegetation, soil and atmosphere. The simulation was performed in the scope of the Horizon Europe project OptFor-EU (OPTimising FORest management decisions for a low-carbon, climate resilient future in Europe). The REMO-iMOVE simulation follows strictly the experiment protocol of the international CORDEX Flagship Pilot Study LUCAS and EURO-CORDEX. For the simulation we used resources of the Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum (DKRZ) granted by its Scientific Steering Committee (WLA) under project ID bg1370.
Within OptFor-EU, the simulation provides the future climate projections under SSP126 scenario conditions simulated with REMO202-2-iMOVE-LUC driven by MPI-ESM1-2-HR with annual land use land cover change 2015-2100 for Europe and serves as a reference for the experiment "REMO2020-2-iMOVE SSP126 simulation driven by MPI-ESM and with static land use land cover 2015 from LUCAS LUC dataset”. Within OptFor-EU the data also feeds the development of the OptFor-EU Decision Support Systems (DSS) assisting decision-making on Forest Management Options in different case studies within Europe.
A set of climate indicators as part of the new set of Essential Forest Mitigation Indicators (EFMIs) have been processed for Europe and all OptFor-EU CSAs. EFMIs were identified and developed within OptFor-EU by Linser et al. (2025) to characterize forest ecosystem services, including regional climate regulation, while directly addressing the specific needs of OptFor-EU end-users: https://optforeu.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/OptFor-EU_D1.2_-EFMIs-_v02_20250314_BOKU.pdf
