May 26, 2015 at 10:12AM Tropical forests and climate change: models for forecasting the changes in plant stands

How do environmental factors, climate change and human activities change the dynamics of tropical forests? This question is vital for the conservation of such ecosystems against a backdrop of global change. Reliable, precise tools have yet to be developed. CIRAD recently designed a class of novel, innovative models that reproduce the dynamics of tropical forest stands as a whole and their diversity. These easy-to-use tools serve to analyse and anticipate forest evolution in the face of change.
