RAMAS - Ecosystem Performs Ecological Risk Assessments Software
RAMAS® Ecosystem performs ecological risk assessments for food chain and food web models, linking bioassay results to community dynamics. It imports data from standard laboratory bioassays, incorporates these data into the parameters of a population model, and performs a risk assessment by analyzing population-level differences between control and impacted samples. RAMAS® Ecosystem facilitates the management of variability and uncertainty in data, expressing results as ecological risks.
Software Overview
Link bioassay results to population and community dynamics:
- Build chains or webs using boxes and arrows
- Model toxicant kinetics or set bioaccumulation factors
- Select dose-response and predator-prey functions
Software
