A Functional Description of the Ecological Dynamics Simulation (EDYS) Model, With Applications for Army and Other Federal Land Managers

Abstract

A key component of this capability package is the Ecological Dynamics Simulation (EDYS) model. The model provides the capability to predict responses of training lands to both military and non-military stressors and facilitates linking the cost of training and testing land maintenance to the actual level of training. We provide here a functional description of the EDYS model with applications for several Army installations, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and the National Water Management Center of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. We also have included appendices that describe system implementation, and data requirements and structure. The EDYS model will be incorporated into the Land Management System (LMS) and will be available to users via the Corps' Engineer Research and Development Center web site.
