“…It is also worth to note that the selection of articles is very heterogeneous not only in what concerns the application domains, but also with respect to the description of the models used in the simulations. Only 11 out of the 87 articles reviewed (namely [16], [19], [28], [42], [53], [54], [78], [80], [81], [87], [101]) follow the ODD protocol (Overview, Design concepts, and Details -see [129]) that standardize the description of agent-based models. This, along with the lack of information about the actual software implementation of the simulations raise questions about the reproducibility of the studies.…”

In the context of the alarming news about climate changes, resource depletion, ecological disasters, and demographic trends, the interest of the researchers and the scientific literature on topics related to sustainability grew exponentially in the past two decades. In 2020 only, the number of publications indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) having the keywords “sustainability” or “sustainable development” in the topic was higher than 42,000. Facing this flood of literature, the present work aims to ease the effort of locating relevant studies about the applications of Agent-based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS) in the research of environmental sustainability. This goal is accomplished by: (a) providing a comprehensive bibliography of recent relevant articles on this topic, (b) identifying the most popular domains of application of ABMS in this field, and (c) building a list of the available simulation tools. We found that most of the selected studies (52%) are designed for management related acticities (decision support, policy making etc.), the application domain addressed by the largest number of articles (27%) is agriculture and related activities (pastoralism, hunting, fishery, and forestry), and the most popular simulation platform is NetLogo (15%).

“…In the field of bioenergy simulation there are some recent papers that utilize ABM methodologies (Rammer & Seidl, 2015; Rouleau, 2016; Rouleau & Zupko, 2019; Seidl, Rammer, Scheller, & Spies, 2012; Zupko & Rouleau, 2019). Rouleau (2016) elaborate on a framework for using ABM to assess the sustainability of bioenergy production, similar to Zupko and Rouleau (2019)—who concentrate on nonindustrial forest production. A review of coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) using ABM is given in An (2012).…”

The paper presents an agent-based modeling and simulation approach to model the forest fuel supply chain for heating purposes (i.e., heating plants). The paper focuses on the simulation of the processes of timber harvesting by forest enterprises and the competition of heating plants for the limited resource of wood chips. In particular, the work identifies different stakeholders having an adaptive behavior-with respect to the overall market conditions and timber prices. The agent-based model developed here-called SimFoMa-uses three types of agents-forest enterprises, heating plants, and traders. The agents are interacting in an environment that has rich information on the forests and road network. The SimFoMa model is applied to a test area, the province of Carinthia, Austria. We defined six different simulation scenarios that cover different market situations-from increasing timber prices, volatile market conditions, or decreasing market conditions-and evaluated the harvest patterns, transport distances and the forest itself. The paper utilizes the agent-based modeling methodology to model the agent's adaptive behavior of
