A numerical recipe for adapting the landscape map

The climate is changing and it is doing so too fast. The impacts on our environment are already visible in many regions of the world. In such a context, it is important to understand the dynamics of our environment in order to construct tools capable of anticipating the risks stemming from this climate disruption. Among these tools, numerical models offer a very effective solution for testing a wide range of climate scenarios, taking into account numerous physical, chemical and biological processes.
