Brief Description: Age-only succession behaves similar to previous LANDIS models. However, this extension has a variable temporal resolution and therefore cohort ages are not limited to 10-year time steps.
Age-list Succession v2.0 - Previous versions of LANDIS applied an assumption that species cohorts younger than their age of sexual maturity did not cast shade. This assumption was implemented as a proxy for crown closure, assuming that opportunities for species establishment existed prior to the onset of direct competition for light. Version 2.0 now includes this assumption to be most compatible with earlier versions of LANDIS.
