Brief Description
We analyze tree regeneration in various models of forest dynamics following a protocol and comparing the results with observed data from forest reserves.
Why should we reproduce your paper?
This paper is fully reproducible; we provide the protocol that the different modelers used, the data produced from these models, the observed data, and the code to run the analysis that led to the results of the paper, figures, and text. I have not come across any other paper in forestry that is as fully reproducible as our paper, so it might also be a rare example in this field and hopefully a motivation to others to do so. Please notice that we do not provide the models that were used to run the simulations, as these are the results used (or data collection), but we do provide the data resulting from these simulations.
What should reviewers focus on?
In try to reproduce the same results that we got on the paper based on the data from the models simulations and observed data.
