After this (fairly major) issue has been addressed, all that remains will be to attempt to run the program with an eye to how it reflects the actual composition of Zoar Valley.

NetLogo Update
I've had some progress on the NetLogo model in that I finally have the trees growing to reflect their changing height and diameter. I am currently working on getting the user to insert their own tree species via a drop-down menu. This has been set up in the program, but a problem has been encountered in that the trees are currently only growing with the current values that the program was designed around. Now, the program must be able to work with a wide variety of species, so this is the last major issue that needs to be addressed. I think that this could be due to the fact that the available light equation is not reflecting the changing tree types, however, Erin is trying to address that by emailing a few of the people who worked on the SimForest project, and while some are no longer actively associated with it hopefully she can come across someone who will provide some info regarding the Botkin equations being used.
