Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref. s. lato causes severe damage to forests. This study describes a model for simulating the infection and spread of Heterobasidion spp. in stands of Picea abies (L.) Karst. and Pinus sylvestris L. The model includes submodels for stand dynamics (plot simulation, growt...
