	Approaches - Modelling Process-based models In collaboration with Dr Robin Pakeman we have developed a model based on the growth cycle of bracken that can be used to predict the outcome of bracken control treatments and the effects of climate change on a UK wide basis. We have combined this model with a further model, which predicts the outcome of bracken control treatment on vegetation succession after treatment. Model output for UK

	All models have some independent test to establish their validity.
