Popis: This paper presents a computer model of the movement of pesticide residues in a forest ecosystem. As such, the paper deals primarily with the potential direct effects on target and nontarget organisms, but does not address the very long-term consequences of restructuring the vegetation in an ecosystem. Simulations using the model trace the movement of two herbicides (2,4,5-T and picloram) through two different environments, one typical of an Oregon forest and the other typical of southern California chaparral. The model is written in DYNAMO.
