      abstract = {Forest landscape disturbances are a global phenomenon.  Simulation models are an important tool in understanding  these broad scale processes and exploring their effects on  forest ecosystems. This book contains a collection of  insights from a group of ecologists who address a variety  of processes: physical disturbances such as drought, wind,  and fire; biological disturbances such as defoliating  insects and bark beetles; anthropogenic influences;  interactions among disturbances; effects of climate change  on disturbances; and the recovery of forest landscapes from  disturbances--all from a simulation modeling perspective.  These discussions and examples offer a broad synopsis of  the state of this rapidly evolving subject.},
