Abstract

Simulations of spatial patterns and processes provide a means to embody hypotheses about forest ecosystems, especially when used in the interpretation of field results. The systems that we have modelled in this way include: fire spread through patchy fuels; bushfires in a forest community; breeding systems in tropical rainforest trees; and the representation of past forests and bushfires by pollen and charcoal preserved in lake sediments.
