Logônia: Plant Growth Response Model in NetLogo (1.2.0)

Logônia is a NetLogo model that simulates the growth response of a fictional plant, Logônia, under different climatic conditions. The model uses climate data from WorldClim 2.1 (Fick & Hijmans, 2017) and demonstrates how to integrate the LogoClim model through the LevelSpace extension.

The model was developed according to the FAIR principles for research software (Barker et al., 2022) and is openly available on the CoMSES Network and GitHub.

Release Notes

Added

  • Automated unit tests using the check-netlogo action from the LogoActions project. Tests run on Windows, macOS, and Linux with the latest NetLogo release at each commit.
  • renv to manage R dependencies for the Quarto notebooks.

Changed

  • Upgraded LogoClim to v2.2.0.
  • Updated the Climate Variable Inspection world visualization mechanics.
  • Removed inspection as a global variable and dropped the switches inspect-tmin, inspect-tmax, and inspect-prec. Added a single switch inspect-var?, along with a chooser, inspection-var, to select the climate variable to inspect. The model no longer halts when toggling the switch during the simulation.
  • Refactored code in the Quarto notebooks for reproducing the model data.
  • Updated data files, following the latest changes in the LogoClim model.
  • Updated the Code of Conduct to Contributor Covenant v3.0.
  • Updated all dependencies to their latest versions.
  • Documentation updated to reflect all changes.
