Presenting a method for the analysis of ecological ecosystems using
numerical models, this text describes the development of these
models by means of relational diagrams and rate equations. The
calculation of the dynamic behaviour of the models is studied
through small computer programs. The approach is illustrated by
treating examples ranging from simple exponential growth to the
development of an insect population and transport phenomena in
soils. About 100 worked examples clarify the theoretical concepts
presented and give the book a tutorial nature. The examples often
illustrate the process, from defining the problem to the
development of a computer program. Examples include models about
yeasts, prey-predator interactions, pollutant and organic matter
dynamics and heat flow in soil. A simulation language is used to
develop the programs, so that the need to learn technical
programming details is minimized and attention can be focused on
the ecological problem. Use of this language is described in the
text. The book concludes with the presentation of a simulation
environment in FORTRAN, assuring a high model portability. Those
interested in applying systems analysis and simulation in the study
of ecological processes, like biologists, agriculturalists and soil
scientists, should find this book a valuable introduction. After
studying the book, readers should be able to develop their own
models and to critically follow the literature on more complex
ecosystem models.
