Simulation models are important tools to study the impacts of climate change and natural disturbances on forest ecosystems. Being able track tree demographic processes in a spatially explicit manner, process-based landscape considered most suitable provide robust projections that can aid decision-making management. However, challenging parameterize setting up new areas for application studies largely depends data availability. The aim this is demonstrate parameterization process, including model testing evaluation, area Italian Alps using available data. We processed soil, climate, carbon pools, vegetation, management data, ran iterative spin-up simulations generate virtual best resembling current conditions. Our results demonstrated feasibility initializing with typically from plans national inventories, as well openly mapping products. Evaluation tests proved ability capture environmental constraints driving regeneration dynamics inter-specific competition forests Alps, simulate dynamics. subsequently be applied investigate development under suite future scenarios recommendations adapting decisions.
