Abstract

This study was concerned with the problem of application of the individual-based EFIMOD model to spatially explicit simulations on a regional scale. Three large forest areas with a total area of about 17,000 km2 with distinct environmental conditions were chosen. We used a set of simulation scenarios, taking into account both the regime of forest management and natural disturbances. The procedure of model initialization was suggested using conceptions of soil and forest types.
