Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Fundamentals of Ecological Modelling: Applications in Environmental Management and Research, Fourth Edition, provides a comprehensive discussion of the fundamental principles of ecological modeling. The first two editions of this book (published in 1986 and 1994) focused on the roots of the discipline the four main model types that dominated the field 30-40 years ago: (1) dynamic biogeochemical models; (2) population dynamic models; (3) ecotoxicological models; and (4) steady-state biogeochemical and energy models. The third edition focused on the mathematical formulations of ecological processes that are included in ecological models. This fourth edition uses the four model types previously listed as the foundation and expands the latest model developments in spatial models, structural dynamic models, and individual-based models. As these seven types of models are very different and require different considerations in the model development phase, a separate chapter is devoted to the development of each of the model types. Throughout the text, the examples given from the literature emphasize the application of models for environmental management and research.; Ecological Modeling, 4e,provides ecologists and environmental scientists with an overview of the most common ecological model types used today as well as practical how-to methods for creating effective models in real-world research and management situations. It provides a comprehensive and authoritative treatment of topics in ecological modeling as well as tools for professionals to construct their own models. 414 pp. Englisch.…
