Microscale Insight into Microbial Seed Banks
... Individual-based models (IBMs) provide a way to address this challenge by exploring how individual-level interactions give rise to higher-order phenomena at the scale of populations, communities, and ecosystems (Grimm et al., 2005; Hellweger et al., 2016). IBMs can include degrees of realism and com ...
