Individual-based analyses of tree growth data offer insights not possible with plot-based analyses, especially when the original experimental design has been compromised by mortality or other unforeseen events. The paper illustrates how Simile can be used for individual-based analyses of mixed plantings, and how it can be used to explore the consequences of the resulting statistical models. A mixed-species planting of &lt;i&gt;Eucalyptus pellita&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Acacia peregrina&lt;/i&gt; is used to illustrate possibilities.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2-3</style></issue></record></records></xml>
