Light in the forest: Computer simulations show increased tree diversity from competition for canopy light
If a tree falls in the forest, it can create an opening for more incoming light, and that makes a significant impact on the surrounding environment, according to new research. An international science team has used supercomputer simulations to model forest population dynamics of tree diversity in tr...

If a tree falls in the forest, it can create an opening for more incoming light, and that makes a significant impact on the surrounding environment, according to new research. An international science team has used supercomputer simulations to model forest population dynamics of tree diversity in tropical forests. The researchers hope their work will help support forest management efforts and aid in conservation.
