SEIB-Explorer Version 3.22

**General** This repository provides the executable distribution, example datasets, reproducibility-test materials, and supporting documentation for SEIB-Explorer, a run-and-view environment that integrates the individual-based Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (SEIB-DGVM) with interactive three-dimensional visualization and lightweight analysis. SEIB-Explorer is designed to reduce the technical and cognitive effort required to work with DGVMs. It bundles the compiled SEIB-DGVM model core with a point-and-click graphical user interface, example datasets, and documentation, allowing users to run site-level simulations and inspect forest structural dynamics, carbon and water fluxes, and related variables through an interactive "virtual stand" view and time-series panels. This Zenodo record accompanies the manuscript:Sato H. (submitted) SEIB-Explorer: An Integrated Run-and-View Environment for Dynamic Vegetation Modeling.

Each site folder contains the visualization-output file, the meteorological forcing data, the parameter file, and the site-specific start_point.f90 file required to regenerate the output. These datasets correspond to the outputs presented in the accompanying manuscript.* ReproducibilityTest/ - Materials used to verify the numerical consistency between simulations executed within SEIB-Explorer and the standalone SEIB-DGVM. For each of the three sites, the folder provides the paired visualization-output files from the two workflows, together with the forcing data, parameter file, site-specific start_point.f90 file, and a screenshot of the SEIB-Explorer run settings. Each folder contains a README file describing its contents, the simulation conditions, and the procedure required to regenerate the archived outputs. **Intended use** SEIB-Explorer is intended to support: * Exploratory experiments with SEIB-DGVM at single sites* Visualization of individual-based forest dynamics and plant functional types* Teaching, outreach, and public communication of vegetation-climate interactions* Transparent sharing of model setups and outputs through plain-text input and output files **System requirements** * Microsoft Windows 11 (64-bit)* x86-64 compatible processor* DirectX 11-compatible graphics* Display resolution of 1366 x 768 or higher recommended* Approximately 500 MB of available storage A Fortran compiler is not required to run SEIB-Explorer; it is needed only if users wish to modify and rebuild the bundled SEIB-DGVM model core. **Citation** Please cite this Zenodo record when using SEIB-Explorer in publications, presentations, exhibitions, or derivative works, and cite the associated article once it becomes available.
