The Strength of Competition among Individual Trees and the Biomass-Density Trajectories of the Cohort

We simulated the self-thinning of Rhizophora mangle mangrove forests with the spatially explicit simulation model KiWi. This model is an application of the field-of-neighbourhood (FON) approach, which describes an individual tree by a competition function defined on the zone of influence (ZOI) aroun...
