- Abstract
Reports on the use of a micrometeorological dispersal model to simulate seed and seedling distributions derived from subcanopy balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.) source trees in a trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) dominated forest. Objective that was to determine the effect of substituting basal area for cone production as a proxy for seed output; Objective that was to determine the effects of changing the median horizontal wind speed; Median speed in this forest environment that varies according to the proportion of leaves abscised; Demonstration that the simple one-dimensional model that can have added precision if the dispersal parameters are chosen so as to allow more fine-scale variation.
