Required Software
In order to access this model you will need any JavaScript compatible web browser.
Instructions: To add trees, use either the pencil or box tool. In order for the model to work, there has to be a counter in the world. You can use the hand tool to start a fire. The simulation properties edit how the program runs. BURN_PCT_CHANCE edits the chance dry trees will burn, and BURN_TIME will control the amount of time burning trees burn.
Forest Fires
Model Description: Our model uses JavaScript to illustrate the effects that saturation and inherent protection have on forest fires, as we did in our AgentCubes model.
Model Scale: As in our AgentCubes model, on a smaller scale, the forest burns slower relative to itself. On the other hand, a larger scale causes the forest to burn at a faster rate relative to itself.
