What's New

Version 6.11

• Output now has full support for saving information on dead trees.
• The new Tree Fern Establishment behavior simulates epiphytic seedling establishment.
• The new Conspecific tree density dependent seed survival behavior assesses seed survival as a function of the local density of conspecific trees.
• The new Gompertz Density Self Thinning Mortality behavior calculates the probability of mortality of an individual tree as a function of the density of conspecific neighborhood trees.
• The new Juvenile NCI growth behavior adapts neighborhood competition growth to juveniles.
• The new behaviors Precipitation Climate Change and Temperature Climate Change change climate variables for the plot over the course of a run.
• The new behaviors Weibull climate growth, Weibull climate quadrat growth, and Weibull Climate Survival model tree growth and survival as a function of climate (temperature and precipitation).
• The new Temperature dependent neighborhood disperse behavior disperses seeds based on annual mean temperature and the basal area of neighborhood adults.
• The new Temperature dependent neighborhood survival behavior assesses tree survival as a function of mean annual temperature and neighbor adult basal area.
• The new State Reporter behavior reports the values of state variables like climate information.
• The new Generalized harvest regime is a very flexible way to model harvest events.
• The new behaviors Insect Infestation and Insect Infestation Mortality model insect infestation and subsequent tree mortality.
• The new Suppression duration mortality behavior evaluates mortality as a function of tree age. This is particularly useful for simulating suppression in seedlings.
• The new State Reporter behavior reports the values of state variables like climate information.
• Michaelis-Menton with negative growth now has optional autocorrelation and stochasticity.
• Light calculations support the southern hemisphere growing season.
• The Stochastic bi-level mortality behavior now supports GLI light.

• A bug was fixed for NCI mortality which may have caused it to slightly undercount neighbors.
• Histograms can now show all species for species specific grid results together in a single graph.
• You can now select and unselect life history stages for many graphs.
• The Dimension analysis behavior now has a parameter for the meaning of the "dia" term.
• The Dead tree remover behavior now automatically enables itself when a mortality behavior is used.
