Synopsis
Excerpt from Climacs: A Computer Model of Forest Stand Development for Western Oregon and Washington
The model can be applied to four geographic regions west of the Cascade Range: Santiam Pass south to the California border, Santiam Pass north to Mount Rainier, north of Mount Rainier to the Canadian border, and the Olympic Penin sula (fig. Restriction of a model run to a geographic region limits the species in the succession model to those found naturally in the region.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the creation of CLIMACS, an ecological simulation model of forest stand dynamics in the Pacific Northwest. It began as a model of eastern deciduous forests, and was modified by the author to account for the unique species and environmental conditions of the Pacific Northwest, particularly temperature and moisture conditions, and the impact of disturbances like fire, wind, and clearcutting. Through the use of this model, the author is able to explore a variety of hypotheses about tree growth, succession, and ecological stability. This book will appeal to managers who want to examine long-term effects of human activities on stand development and ecologists interested in the complex interactions of climate, disturbance, and forest succession. While this book presents complex simulations and formulas, the author provides clear explanations of the algorithms and parameters used, and their connection to the ecological concepts being tested. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781390415155_0
