Abstract

Forest landscape models (FLMs) are important tools for testing basic ecological theory and for exploring forest changes at landscape and regional scales. However, the ability of these models to accurately predict changes in tree species’ distributions and their spatial pattern may be significantly affected by the formulation of site-scale processes that simulate gap-level succession including seedling establishment, tree growth, competition, and mortality. Thus, the objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of site-scale processes on landscape-scale predictions of tree species’ distributions and spatial patterns.
