Abstract
Describes a computer simulation model of the population dynamics of Acacia raddiana occurring in the Negev Desert in Israel. From a conservation perspective, increasing the germination rate of this species was the most important factor in counteracting unfavorable climatic conditions. Although A. raddiana does not occur in the U.S., the information provided on germination, recruitment, and survival may also apply to A. farnesiana.Suggested Citation
