Few-element continuous-time landscapes warrant detailed, not aggregate, simulation models.
Evidence
In cases in which there are relatively few elements considered over continuous time (Fig. Id), fairly detailed computer simulation models are often used to capture more of the detail of the system dynamics. In the remainder of this chapter, forest models of this sort will be discussed. — S. T. A. Pickett and P. S. White, eds., The Ecology of Natural Disturbance and…, 2111
