Release information
QUINCY land model - release01
- branch name: quincy-land/release01
- brief info: Initial release of the QUINCY land model.
- publication: https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-12-4781-2019
- Bug reports, info, and comments to: Sönke Zaehle (email: szaehle@bgc-jena.mpg.de)
QUINCY land model - release02
- branch name: quincy-land/release02
- brief info: Adds the capacity to calculate variable leaf N content using whole-plant optimality theory, implemented as an alternative to the empirical formulation in quincy-land/release01.
- publication: https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.16327
- Bug reports, info, and comments to: Sönke Zaehle (email: szaehle@bgc-jena.mpg.de)
Jena Soil Model (JSM) - release01
- branch name: jsm/release01
- brief info: JSM, implemented using the QUINCY model framework, is a microbial-explicit, vertically resolved soil organic matter model integrated with N and P processes, which represents the microbial explicit decomposition and stabilisation with approaches for microbial adaptation and plant-microbe competition.
- publication: https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-13-783-2020
- Bug reports, info, and comments to: Sönke Zaehle (email: szaehle@bgc-jena.mpg.de)
QUINCY land model - release03
- branch name: quincy-land/release03
- brief info: Extending QUINCY with processes relevant for high latitudes, e.g., soil freezing, snow and inundation. Aim for better understanding of impacts of increased nutrient availability from permafrost thawing in comparison to other climate-induced effects and CO2 fertilization over 1960 to 2018 across the high Arctic.

QUINCY land model - release04
- branch name: quincy-land/release04
- brief info: Application of QUINCY to investigate the emergence of physiological effects of elevated CO2 on various vegetation properties related to carbon and water fluxes. The elevated CO2 effect 1) on GPP emerges at relatively low CO2 increase if the LAI is relatively high, and 2) reduces transpiration water flux only at relatively high levels of CO2 increase.

QUINCY land model - release 05
- branch name: quincy-land/release05
- brief info: A novel, dynamic plant-mycorrhiza-soil model based on mycorrhizal functional types that either actively mine soil organic matter (SOM) for N or enhance soil microbial activity though increased transfer of labile C into the rhizosphere and thereby (passively) prime SOM decomposition. We show that mycorrhizal fungi can have important effects on projected SOM turnover and plant nutrition under ambient as well as elevated CO2 treatments.
