Abstract: Simulations with the spatially explicit and individual-based Siberian forest model LAVESI (Kruse et al., 2016, 2018, 2019) were set-up for transect in four focus regions covering the East Siberian treeline and tundra area (details in Kruse & Herzschuh, submitted). The model was updated to include climate forcing data for 300-800 km long and 20 m wide transects necessary for simulating the forest development between the northern taiga forests and the coast of the Arctic Ocean. Forced with climate forecasts driven by relative concentration pa...
