It provides figures on respiration, consumption, mortality, etc. The simulation can be manipulated for balanced and unbalanced illustrations. An excellent program that is widely used in Ecology classes. Contains a diagram file as well. This program simulates the flow of energy through a forest community.
Students collect litter from the forest floor to begin the program.
The energy flow pattern in the forest is generated from gathered field data. Values for Respiration, Net Production, Humus loss, Storage, etc. are generated. An excellent model with accurate results that create a picture of how energy moves through the forest. Contains a diagram file as well. These and other questions are answered by this forest modeling program.
