Simulation of a tropical mountain forest in Ecuador using Formind. The simulation includes also a landslide event. The colours represent different tree species groups.
FORMIND (forest model individual-based) is an individual based forest gap model that is able to simulate the growth of species-rich forests.[1][2] It was developed in the late 1990s to simulate forest dynamics of tropical forests.
