post-settlement juvenile immigration, followed by maturation to adulthood ;
and (3) through post-settlement adult immigration from undisturbed sediments. At each time step in a model run, adult densities in a patch are calculated by summing the contributions of the three independent colonization
routes. As mentioned, the density of adults is used to assess recovery time for
a given set of model inputs.
