GAPPARD: a computationally efficient method of approximating gap-scale disturbance in vegetation models
Models of vegetation dynamics that are designed for application at spatial scales larger than individual forest gaps suffer from several limitations. Typically, either a population average approximation is used that results in unrealistic tree allometry and forest stand structure, or models have a h...
