What is SELES?

The Spatially Explicit Landscape Event Simulator is a tool for constructing and running spatio-temporal landscape models that integrate natural and anthropogenic processes (e.g. fire, insect outbreaks, logging, succession) and track indicators (e.g. age class, habitat supply, timber volumes) over long time-frames and large spatial areas. SELES extends research in the fields of landscape ecology, simulation, and ecological modelling, and is useful as a tool for research on sustainable forest management, natural disturbance modelling and habitat modelling.

What is SELES.info?

SELES.info is a Wiki for sharing SELES documentation, model code, images and training material.

Anyone can modify these pages. For the time being we will keep 'write access' completely open; it is quite easy to roll back changes (ah the beauty of MediaWiki). If we get abuse, we will re-think this policy. Please comment on this at here.

SELES.info is a community effort! Please visit our SELESwiki Guide and Support for suggestions on what and how to contribute.
