520			_aThis paper presents a system dynamics model to simulate the growth of mangrove forest of the Sundarbans. The model is individual based and the trees of same diameter class are designated as one cohort. The model consists of two sub-models and these are: present forest growth and recruited forest growth. Two main state variables in each of the sub-models are tree biomass and number of trees. The tree biomass is computed from the physiological process of photosynthesis and respiration. Number of trees is increased by recruitment and decreased by mortality and harvesting. The parameters of the model are determined from field data and research reports. The model is validated both quantitatively and qualitatively. Some simulation results of the mangrove forest (Sundri and Gewa) of the Sundarbans are discussed.
