Tritrophic

This simulator models the effect of reintroducing snowshoe hares and predators in Canadian boreal forests using a tritrophic population dynamics model. Explore nonlinear predator–prey–vegetation cycles, seasonal forcing, carrying capacity, and how reintroduction timing and densities shape long-term ecosystem behavior through interactive plots.
