A Contemporary Approach to a Classic Model: Exploring the Influence of Local Interactions and Disturbance on Mangrove Forest Dynamics with a Spatially-Explicit Version of FORMAN
The mangrove forest gap dynamic model, FORMAN, was the first individual-based model (IBM) to simulate the long-term successional dynamics of three Caribbean mangrove species, Avicennia germinans, Laguncularia racemosa, and Rhizophora mangle. Assumptions under the spatially implicit approach of gap d...
