Abstract
⺠A spatially explicit neutral model for tropical tree communities is investigated through Monte Carlo simulations. ⺠The diffusion of seeds in space generates the dispersal kernel. ⺠The maximum survival distance of the seeds is the free adjustable parameter of the model. ⺠Monte Carlo simulation results are compared with tropical tree-census data. ⺠Relevant macro-ecological measures are qualitatively well reproduced.
