-## What is SIPNET?
 
-The SIPNET v1 (**S**implified PnET (**P**hotosynthesis** and **E**vapo**t**ranspiration)) model is a lightweight ecosystem model designed to simulate ecosystem carbon and water dynamics. 
+## Documentation Structure
 
-SIPNET v2 added a nitrogen cycle, trace greenhouse-gas (N₂O, CH₄) fluxes, and support for cropland and ecosystem management. As of PEcAn v1.10, support for SIPNET v2 is partially implemented and under active development.
+- This README provides an overview of using SIPNET within PEcAn.
+- Detailed model documentation is available in the [SIPNET documentation](https://pecanproject.github.io/sipnet).
+- The PEcAn documentation provides workflow-level guidance and examples.
 
-**Key Features:**
-- Simulates photosynthesis, respiration, allocation, soil water, soil temperature, and nitrogen cycling
-- Operates on sub-daily time steps
-- Tracks vegetation, litter, soil, and mineral-N pools
-- Event-based management for agricultural processes (planting, harvest, tillage, irrigation)
-- Clean, modular, BSD-licensed codebase suitable for research and production
+Users are encouraged to refer to the SIPNET documentation for model-specific details and to the PEcAn documentation for workflow integration.
 
-For comprehensive SIPNET documentation, see the [SIPNET project website](https://pecanproject.github.io/sipnet).
 
-## Using SIPNET via PEcAn
 
-PEcAn.SIPNET is the PEcAn interface package that enables SIPNET integration with the PEcAn workflow system. This package:
-- Converts PEcAn-standard inputs to SIPNET format
-- Manages SIPNET model configuration and execution
-- Converts SIPNET outputs to netCDF in PEcAn standard format
-- Enables data assimilation, sensitivity analysis, and ensemble runs within the PEcAn modeling framework
-
-**Getting Started:**
-- [Demo 1: Basic PEcAn Run](https://pecanproject.github.io/pecan-documentation/develop/rendered-demo-notebooks/run_pecan.html)
-- [SIPNET in the PEcAn Book](https://pecanproject.github.io/pecan-documentation/develop/models-sipnet.html)
-
-## Installation
-
-### Install PEcAn.SIPNET Package
-
-You can install the development version of `PEcAn.SIPNET` from r-universe:
-
-```r
-# Enable repository from pecanproject
-options(repos = c(
-  pecanproject = 'https://pecanproject.r-universe.dev',
-  CRAN = 'https://cloud.r-project.org'))
-# Download and install PEcAn.SIPNET in R
-install.packages('PEcAn.SIPNET')
-```
-
-Or install directly from GitHub:
-
-```r
-library(remotes)
-install_github('pecanproject/pecan', subdir = "models/sipnet")
-```
-
-### Install SIPNET Model
-
-To use PEcAn.SIPNET, you also need the SIPNET model executable installed on your system. You can download precompiled versions from the SIPNET [releases page](https://github.com/PecanProject/sipnet/releases), or [download the code](https://github.com/PecanProject/sipnet) from Github and compile it yourself following the official [instructions](https://github.com/PecanProject/sipnet/blob/master/docs/user-guide/getting-started.md).
