The land module coordinates and analyzes all land related activities by summing up all land types and calculating the gross changes in land use between two time steps of optimization given the recursive dynamic structure of MAgPIE model.

vm_landdiff_forestry | Aggregated difference in forestry land compared to previous timestep | \(10^6 ha\) | x | x |

This realization defines the total amount of land to be constant over time.
\[\begin{multline*} \sum_{land} vm\_land(j2,land) = \sum_{land} pm\_land\_start(j2,land) \end{multline*}\]
The following two equations calculate the land expansion and land contraction.
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_landexpansion(j2,land) \geq vm\_land(j2,land)-pcm\_land(j2,land) \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} v10\_landreduction(j2,land) \geq pcm\_land(j2,land)-vm\_land(j2,land) \end{multline*}\]
The gross changes in land are calculated based on land expansion, land contraction and land changes from within the modules 35_natveg and 32_forestry:
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_landdiff = \sum_{j2,land}\left( vm\_landexpansion(j2,land) + v10\_landreduction(j2,land)\right) + vm\_landdiff\_natveg + vm\_landdiff\_forestry \end{multline*}\]
Limitations This realization does not track sources and targets of land transitions. Interface variables like vm_croplandexpansion and vm_croplandreduction are therefore not meaningful.
The landmatrix_dec18 realization tracks land use transitions by directly counting sources and targets of conversions.
The following three equations describe the general structure of the land transition matrix. The first equation defines the total amount of land to be constant over time.
\[\begin{multline*} \sum_{land\_from10,land\_to10} v10\_lu\_transitions(j2,land\_from10,land\_to10) = \sum_{land} pcm\_land(j2,land) \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} \sum_{land\_from10} v10\_lu\_transitions(j2,land\_from10,land\_to10) = vm\_land(j2,land\_to10) \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} \sum_{land\_to10} v10\_lu\_transitions(j2,land\_from10,land\_to10) = pcm\_land(j2,land\_from10) \end{multline*}\]
The following two equations calculate land expansion and land contraction based on the above land transition matrix.
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_landexpansion(j2,land\_to10) = \sum_{land\_from10\$\left(not sameas(land\_from10,land\_to10)\right)}\left( v10\_lu\_transitions(j2,land\_from10,land\_to10)\right) \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} v10\_landreduction(j2,land\_from10) = \sum_{land\_to10\$\left(not sameas(land\_from10,land\_to10)\right)}\left( v10\_lu\_transitions(j2,land\_from10,land\_to10)\right) \end{multline*}\]
Additionally the following two equations calculate the sources and targets of all cropland related conversions.
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_croplandreduction(j2,land\_to10) = v10\_lu\_transitions(j2,"crop",land\_to10) \end{multline*}\]
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_croplandexpansion(j2,land\_from10) = v10\_lu\_transitions(j2,land\_from10,"crop") \end{multline*}\]
Small costs of 1 $ per ha on gross land-use change avoid unrealistic patterns in the land transition matrix
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_cost\_land\_transition(j2) = \sum_{land}\left( vm\_landexpansion(j2,land) + v10\_landreduction(j2,land)\right) \cdot 1 \end{multline*}\]
The gross changes in land are calculated based on land expansion, land contraction and land changes from within the modules 35_natveg and 32_forestry:
\[\begin{multline*} vm\_landdiff = \sum_{j2,land}\left( vm\_landexpansion(j2,land) + v10\_landreduction(j2,land)\right) + vm\_landdiff\_natveg + vm\_landdiff\_forestry \end{multline*}\]
Some of the land use transitions are restricted: No afforestation on natveg areas Conversions within natveg are not allowed
v10_lu_transitions.fx(j,"primforest","other") = 0;
v10_lu_transitions.fx(j,"secdforest","other") = 0;
Forestry can only increase Primforest can only decrease
v10_lu_transitions.fx(j,land_from10,"primforest") = 0;
v10_lu_transitions.up(j,"primforest","primforest") = Inf;
Secdforest can only decrease (during optimization) Urban land is fixed
v10_lu_transitions.fx(j,land_from10,"urban") = 0;
v10_lu_transitions.fx(j,"urban",land_to10) = 0;
v10_lu_transitions.fx(j,"urban","urban") = pcm_land(j,"urban");
Limitations There are currently no known limitations of this realization.
