Abstract
The vegetation model (LAVegMod) described in this appendix is the next generation of a similar model (habitat switching module) initially developed as part of the Louisiana Coastal Area study. LAVegMod divides the original 5-habitat model for the Louisiana coast into 19 vegetation types. LAVegMod provides longer estimates of interannual variation in aboveground biomass; however, biomass varies with vegetation type. The model is intended as a tool for protection and restoration planning that provides repeatable estimates of the changes in species composition based on changes in hydrology and wetland area. This tool is dependent on other models that forecast changes in hydrology and wetland area.
