Periodic Endogenous Changes of the Predominant Species in Complex Tree Stands

Abstract
A mathematical model explaining the mechanism of occurrence of periodic changes of the predominant species in complex tree stands is proposed. A case of a tree stand composed of two species one of which is dark coniferous and the other leafy is considered. The model is based on a modified equation of Von Foerster. It is demonstrated that periodic changes may occur in a case when the dark coniferous species possesses at the same time a high growth rate and an intense renewal.
