When managers and ecologists need to make decisions about the
environment, they use models to simulate the dynamic systems that
interest them. All management decisions affect certain landscapes
over time, and those landscapes are composed of intricate webs of
dynamic processes that need to be considered in relation to each
other. With widespread use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS),
there is a growing need for complex models corporating an
increasing amount of data. The open-source Spatial Modeling
Environment (SME) was developed to build upon common modeling
software, such as STELLA (R), and Powersim (R), among others, to
create, run, analyze, and present spatial models of ecosystems,
watersheds, populations, and landscapes. In this book, the creators
of the Spatial Modeling Environment discuss and illustrate the uses
of SME as a modeling tool for all kinds of complex spatial systems.
The authors demonstrate the entire process of spatial modeling,
beginning with the conceptual design, continuing through formal
implementation and analysis, and finally with the interpretation
and presentation of the results.A variety of applications and case
studies address particular types of ecological and management
problems and help to identify potential problems for modelers.
Researchers and students interested in spatial modeling will learn
how to simulate the complex dynamics of landscapes. Managers and
decision makers will acquire tools for predicting changes in
landscapes while learning about both the possibilities and the
limitations of simulation models.
