Luberon2 is a forest dynamics model with heritable trait variation to simulate eco- evolutionary processes in monospecific stands with stochastic disturbances, thinning and cutting, and genetic diversity: it is a demo-genetic agent-based model. The current version runs for Atlas cedar, Douglas fir, Larch, Norway spruce, or Silver fir. For this project, we received support from the RMT AFORCE project IGS and the European research programs, projects B4Est and OptFORESTS.
