Description
| Has description | VDDT is a Windows-based program allows users to easily create and test descriptions of vegetation dynamics, simulating them non-spatially at the landscape level. Probably the most important contribution of VDDT is that it provides a common platform for specialists from different disciplines - e.g., entomology, pathology, fire ecology, silviculture, wildlife biology and ecology - to collectively define the roles of various processes and agents of disturbance on landscape-level vegetation dynamics. Moreover, the development tool allows for rapid gaming and testing of the sensitivity of the ecosystem to alternative assumptions. It thus provides a tool for learning and communication. |
