The FLAME static constructs. At any given time period, a pool of agents was associated with households. Active agents and households were those that own land. Inactive agents and households were those either deceased or no longer associated with land. The landscape was broken down by multiple units ranging from parcels to tree lists. Methods included actions available to a given agent, such as light or heavy harvesting.
