MOSAIC Imataca

State definition

Combinations of four species roles and three canopy heights
 
Species Roles (as in Acevedo et al. 1996) 

here Hmax and L are facet parameters for the species
 
Shade intolerants (L < 3) Shade tolerants (L>3)
Hmax > 30 m role 1 role 2
Hmax < 30 m role 3 role 4

 

 Canopy heights
 
Low (L) Height < 15m
Medium (M)  15m < Height <30m
High (H)  Height     > 30 m
