Abstract

Modeling and simulating tree spatial distribution in complex forests is important to ecologists and applied scientists who seek to both understand pattern-creating biological processes and create realistic model forests that can be used for hypothesis testing and sampling experiments. Several patterns of tree spatial distribution can co-occur in a forest. Clustering can occur due to localized patterns of growth and mortality of larger trees and corresponding regeneration of smaller trees, while trees of medium size can exhibit more uniform patterns. Inter-tree interaction may be characterized by asymmetry of competitive strength, with larger individuals having a disproportionate influence on smaller individuals.
