Simulation Modeling of Forest Landscape Disturbances

Simulation Modeling of Forest Landscape Disturbances edited by Ajith H. Perera, Brian R. Sturtevant, Lisa J. Buse - 1st ed. 2015 - Cham, Switzerland Springer 2015 - 1 recurso en línea (X, 321 p.) 74 il., 51 il. col.

Forest landscape disturbances are a global phenomenon. Simulation models are an important tool in understanding these broad scale processes and exploring their effects on forest ecosystems. This book contains a collection of insights from a group of ecologists who address a variety of processes: physical disturbances such as drought, wind, and fire; biological disturbances such as defoliating insects and bark beetles; anthropogenic influences; interactions among disturbances; effects of climate change on disturbances; and the recovery of forest landscapes from disturbances†from a simulation modeling perspective. These discussions and examples offer a broad synopsis of the state of this rapidly evolving subject.
