Abstract. This paper presents simulations of long-term competition for light between two plant species, oaks and beeches. These artificial plants, evolving in a 3D environment, are based on a multi-agent model. Natural oaks and beeches develop two different strategies to exploit light. The model presented in this paper uses these properties during the plant growth. Most of the results are close to those obtained in natural conditions on long-term evolution of forests.
