ST-Sim BurnP3+ SyncroSim Package

ST-Sim BurnP3+ is an open-source SyncroSim add-on package integrating process based fire simulations into ST-Sim state-and-transition simulation models.

Background

ST-Sim BurnP3+ dynamically links ST-Sim state-and-transition simulation models (STSMs) with BurnP3+ ignition, weather and fire growth simulations. This linkage incorporates more realistic fire perimeters into multi-year simulations of vegetation succession and disturbance.

Requirements

This package requires SyncroSim version 2.4.22 or higher. The following packages are also required to use the ST-Sim BurnP3+ package:

• BurnP3+ and at least one fire growth add-on package (e.g. BurnP3+Cell2Fire or BurnP3+Prometheus)
• ST-Sim

To use the ST-Sim BurnP3+ package, you are required to follow one of the following two options:

1. Follow the SyncroSim prompt to install the conda package manager and create the required conda environments upon installation of the ST-Sim BurnP3+ add-on package; or

2. Install the R software version 4.2.2 or higher with the following libraries:

• rsyncrosim
• tidyverse
• terra
• fs
