Ecology and Natural Resource Management : Systems Analysis and Simulation
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This book explores the theory and methods of systems analysis and computer modeling as applied to problems in ecology and natural resource management. It reflects the problems and conflicts between competing uses of limited space and the need for quantitative predictors of the outcome of various management strategies.
The publisher, John Wiley & Sons
Ecology and natural resource management are presented in a systematic way using an analysis and computer modeling approach. Providing step-by-step guidance to each phase in the development of a simulation model using combinations of simple system components, it helps readers face the complex natural resource management problems in realistic, analytical terms. It covers the philosophical basis for use of systems analysis and simulation in ecology and the theoretical framework for the development, evaluation, and use of simulation models. Emphasis is on practical applications. Examples in the text and a hands-on disk provide step-by-step instruction and experience.
