Vegetation models are computational models used to simulate and predict the dynamics of plant communities and ecosystems. These models typically consider factors such as plant growth, competition for resources, and interaction with the environment (such as climate, soil, and disturbance events) to predict how vegetation will change over time. Vegetation models are used in a variety of research areas, including ecology, conservation biology, forestry, and agriculture, to help understand and manage plant communities and ecosystems. They can also be used to study the impacts of climate change, land use change, and other disturbances on vegetation dynamics. Overall, vegetation models play a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the complex interactions between plants and their environment.
