# Welcome to the Virtual Ecosystem

[![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/ImperialCollegeLondon/virtual_rainforest/branch/develop/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/ImperialCollegeLondon/virtual_rainforest)
[![pre-commit.ci status](https://results.pre-commit.ci/badge/github/ImperialCollegeLondon/virtual_rainforest/develop.svg)](https://results.pre-commit.ci/latest/github/ImperialCollegeLondon/virtual_rainforest/develop)

This repository is the home for the development of the Virtual Ecosystem. The
Virtual Ecosystem is a project to develop a simulation of all of the major
processes involved in a real ecosystem including the:

* growth and demographic processes of the primary producers within the forest,
* microclimatic processes within and around the ecosystem,
* hydrological processes within the canopy, soil and drainage networks,
* biotic and abiotic processes within the soil, and the
* growth and demography of heterotrophs.

## Project details

This project is funded by a 2021 Distinguished Scientist award from the NOMIS
Foundation to Professor Robert Ewers:
