Source code [Julia] for an individual-based model of northern Aotearoa-New Zealand forests as described in Simpkins et al. (2024).

This project implements a spatially explicit individual-based model representing the dynamics of canopy and understory in a New Zealand based forest fragment. The model has been parameterised on data collected primarily in northern New Zealand. See [Morales and Perry (2017)](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0304380016306068) and [Brock et *al.* (2020)](https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1365-2745.13305) for more details. This version of the model has been implemented in [Julia](https://julialang.org/) making extensive use of the [Agents.jl](https://juliadynamics.github.io/Agents.jl/stable/) package.

本项研究构建了一个空间显式的基于个体的模型，以模拟新西兰某森林片段中树冠层和林下层的变化动态。模型参数化主要基于新西兰北部的数据集。详情可参阅 [Morales 和 Perry (2017)](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0304380016306068) 以及 [Brock 等人 (2020)](https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1365-2745.13305)。本模型的此版本已采用 [Julia](https://julialang.org/) 编程语言实现，并大量运用了 [Agents.jl](https://juliadynamics.github.io/Agents.jl/stable/) 包。
