## Abstract Transpiration is an important component of soil water storage and streamβflow and is linked with ecosystem productivity, species distribution, and ecosystem health. In mountain environments, complex topography creates heterogeneity in key controls on transpiration as well as logistical

β¦ Synopsis
Simulations
of spatial patterns and processes provide a means to embody hypotheses about forest ecosystems, especially when used in the interpretation of field results.
The systems that we have modelled in this way include: fire spread through patchy fuels; bushfires in a forest community; breeding systems in tropical rainforest trees; and the representation of past forests and bushfires by pollen and charcoal preserved in lake sediments.

Spatial pattern, defined as the distribution of individu-dict spatial distribution based on texture variance. It was concluded that the spatial pattern of trees within a scene als in space, is an important characteristic of forest stands. It provides an insight into the allocation of above-can play
Montane coniferous forests and woodlands in the Front Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains have been subject to increased wildfire in recent years. The area and intensity of these fires is strongly dependent upon the spatial variability and type of fuels as they are arrayed across the landscape. Co
