I have 100 to 200 years worth of forest data on species composition,
tree diameter, height, etc. for a small plot of hemlock-northern
hardwood forest in western Massachusetts. I'd like to test a forest
succession model by comparing the model's predictions with this data.
I have run across a couple of model's that may be appropriate in the
literature, however, if anyone knows of a particularly interesting
model or if one is available on the net, please return a message.
(I'm posting for a friend who is looking for forest succession models. In particular, does anyone know of ftp sites or other electronic archives where such information might be stored? Please respond via email, as I don't read this group regularly.)
