A cellular automaton model of a middle European beech forest mosaic cy cle is used to demonstrate the essential role placed by memory in a sp atially extended artificial ecology. The emergent spatial structure is shown to be fundamentally dependent on the amplification of local int eractions by the mechanism of memory.
