code and data for "A SPATIAL BIRTH-DEATH PROCESS TO MODEL SESSILE ORGANISMS" by IanFlint Peter Vesk, Yan Wang and Aihua Xia

We introduce a spatial birth-death process with birth/death rates that explicitly depend on distances to other points. a model is developed that is useful for analysing the spatiotemporal dynamics of sessile organisms, such as trees. The model can be applied to forest dynamics plots. Field data are from the following source, packaged here for easy analysis.
