SIMULATING NEW ZEALAND FOREST DYNAMICS WITH A GENERALIZED TEMPERATE FOREST GAP MODEL	2000-02-01		.txt	text/plain	10475	541	53	Forest gap simulation models have been developed to predict long-term impacts on forest ecosystems caused by blight, harvest management, past climates, animal browse, pollution, and large-scale disturbance by fire or storm, and to predict transients in species composition and forest structure due to changing climate, (e.g., Shugart and West 1977 , Aber et al. The LINKAGES model, as presented by Pastor and Post (1986) , required modifications to its slow-growth, available-light, and decay-rate conditions to reproduce forests characteristic of New Zealand sites. By contrast, simulations carried out using the cooler climate conditions for Reefton (typical of the South Island west coast of New Zealand) suggest that the emergent podocarp Dacrydium cupressinum, in association with the common hardwood Weinmannia racemosa, will more quickly dominate plots in this area (after the initial establishment of Aristotelia serrata, Leptospermum scoparium, and Kunzea ericoides).	./cache/cord-022891-vgfv5pi4.txt	./txt/cord-022891-vgfv5pi4.txt
