Abstract

The article highlights several ecological consequences of a computer model of forest growth in the United States. The article reports on a computer simulation program, designed to be used in the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study, which provides output in a form compatible with the original vegetation survey of that study and allows a flexible interaction between the user and the simulator. It mentions that the program predicts a peak standing crop for the forest approximately 200 years following clearcutting, with a relatively stable, but fluctuating, species composition at subsequent periods.
