Abstract
The simple three variable evolutionary model of boreal forest of Perm region has been proposed. The model is built as a complex system, where each population is represented by individual trees competing for solar light. Other factors taking into account are growth rate, seed dispersal and mortality. The parameter values used in the model were calibrated from the information available for Perm forests. This work has a fundamental aspect because a formation of dynamical macroscopic patterns in ecological systems attracts great interest of researchers. In addition, the proposed model can have many applications for more effective forest management.
