 # STEMMUS_SCOPE
 
-STEMMUS-SCOPE is a coupled, process-based ecohydrological model that acts as a digital twin for simulating the complex interactions within the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum (SPAC) . It integrates soil hydrothermal dynamics (STEMMUS) with plant photosynthesis, fluorescence, and energy fluxes (SCOPE) to advance the understanding of water-energy-carbon interactions, particularly under water-limited conditions.

-Key Components and Functionality
+Key Components and Functionality:
 STEMMUS (Simultaneous Transfer of Energy, Mass and Momentum in Unsaturated Soil): A two-phase (liquid and gas) heat and mass transfer model that simulates vertical transport in soil.
 SCOPE (Soil Canopy Observation of Photosynthesis and Energy fluxes): A canopy model that describes radiative transfer, canopy photosynthesis, and energy balances .
 Coupling Mechanism: STEMMUS-SCOPE links these models via a 1D root growth model and a resistance scheme from the soil to the atmosphere. STEMMUS feeds root zone moisture and temperature into the canopy module, while SCOPE returns soil surface temperature as a boundary condition. Advanced versions (STEMMUS-SCOPE-PHS) now include a full plant hydraulics pathway, calculating water potentials in roots, stems, and leaves to better simulate xylem vulnerability .
 
-Main Capabilities and Applications
-Drought and Water Stress Monitoring: The model specifically tracks plant hydraulic function and root water uptake to assess ecosystem responses to extreme events like droughts and heatwaves. Validation studies on maize confirm its high accuracy in simulating SIF and GPP under drought stress.

 Solar-Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence (SIF): The model simulates SIF, allowing for direct comparison with satellite-derived SIF to evaluate photosynthetic light responses and water stress effects across different scales.
