Reading Notes:

You can download the ODD for the BEFORE beech forest model, which is described in section 18.3, from the class web site: https://ees4760.jgilligan.org/files/models/chapter_18/ch18_before_ODD.pdf.

I have also posted a list of published models in which observed patterns are important: https://ees4760.jgilligan.org/files/models/chapter_18/ch18_ex1_models_list.pdf
