Fundamentals of Ecological Modelling, Third Edition
This is a thoroughly revised and updated edition of an authoritative introduction to ecological modelling. Sven Erik Jørgensen, Editor-in-Chief of the journal Ecological Modelling, and Giuseppe Bendoricchio, Professor of Environmental Modelling at the University of Padova, Italy, offer compelling ...

Ecological Modeling for Resource Management
With the use of ecological models, managers and decision makers can make sure that the ecological systems affected by their decisions are accurately represented. Unfortunately, the most relevant ecological science and modeling techniques are often not used because managers are not familiar with them or find ...
-
A Practical Guide to Ecological Modelling
Mathematical modelling is an essential tool in present-day ecological research. Yet for many ecologists it is still problematic to apply modelling in their research. In our experience, the major problem is at the conceptual level: proper understanding of what a model is, how ecological relations can be ...

Integrated Land Use and Environmental Models
The authors of this volume follow four interrelated themes. In the first section "Evolving Definitions - Changing Practices" the fundamental shifts in urban modeling practices are examined in relation to the new theoretical and computational advances in the field. The second section "Ecologic Processes and their ...

Daoism and Environmental Philosophy
Daoism and Environmental Philosophy explores ethics and the philosophy of nature in theDaodejing, theZhuangzi, and related texts to elucidate their potential significance in our contemporary environmental ...
-
Spatial Uncertainty in Ecology
The huge growth in the use of geographic information systems, remote sensing platforms and spatial databases have made accurate spatial data more available for ecological and environmental models. Unfortunately, there has been too little analysis of the appropriate use of this data and the role of ...

Children, Citizenship and Environment
When it was first published in 2012, Children, Citizenship and Environment correctly predicted a strong surge in youth activism as children are confronted by four difficult and intersecting challenges: dangerous environmental change, weakening democracies, growing social inequality, and a global economy marked by unprecedented youth unemployment and unsustainable resource ...
-
Forest Decline and Ozone
The book explores the relationship between forest decline and ozone. It comprises a broad range of methods concerning field ecology, model ecosystem research, and basic physiological and biochemical research. Prominent features are the use of ozone dose rather than concentration values only, and the ...

Spatiotemporal Patterns in Ecology and Epidemiology: Theory, Models, and Simulation
in Ecology and Epidemiology: Theory, Models, and Simulation illustrates how mathematical modeling and ...
-
Environmental Modeling: A Practical Introduction
Increasingly used to represent climatic, biogeochemical, and ecological systems, computer modeling has become an important tool that should be in every environmental professional’s toolbox. Environmental Modeling: A Practical Introduction is just what it purports to be, a practical introduction to the various ...

Simulation Modeling for Watershed Management
provide background on the benefits and costs of modeling and on the ecological basis of models, using ...
-
Diffusion and Ecological Problems: Modern Perspectives
This book surveys a wide variety of mathematical models of diffusion in the ecological context. It is written with the primary intent of providing scientists, particularly physicists but also biologists, with some background in the mathematics and physics of diffusion, and shows how they can be applied to ...

Integrating Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use: Lessons Learned From Ecological Networks
IUCN’s 6th World Parks Congress (2003) concluded that parks should not exist as unique islands, but need to be planned and managed as an integral part of the broader landscape. Ecological networks provide an operational model for conserving biodiversity that is based on ecological principles and allow a ...

Species Sensitivity Distributions in Ecotoxicology
In spite of the growing importance of Species Sensitivity Distribution models (SSDs) in ecological risk assessments, the conceptual basis, strengths, and weaknesses of using them have not been comprehensively reviewed. This book fills that need. Written by a panel of international experts, Species ...

Machine Learning Methods for Ecological Applications
The last 25 years have seen a tremendous growth in the application of statistical and modelling techniques to ecological problems. This expansion has been accelerated by the increasing availability of software, books and computing power. However, the suitability of some of these approaches to data ...

Bioeconomic Modelling and Valuation of Exploited Marine Ecosystems
This book offers an environmental-economic analysis of exploited ecosystems with a clear policy orientation. The study tries to move beyond traditional economic fishery analysis in two respects. First, several theoretical and numerical models are offered that combine economic and ecological descriptions of ...
