🌳 Ecological Succession on Bare Rock: Nitrogen Competition, Shading and Fire
A bare-rock hill turns into forest: nitrogen-fixing pioneers, shrubs and trees compete for soil nitrogen and light in a Tilman resource-competition model. Change deposition, leaching, tree shade tolerance and fire frequency, and see why the type with the lowest break-even nitrogen wins.
