Fundamentals of Ecological Modelling (Volume 19) (Developments in Environmental Modelling, Volume 19) - Hardcover
This book is a completely revised version of the 1986 edition. It is considerably expanded and is accompanied by a diskette with modelling programmes. The work presents a general introduction to the rapidly growing field of ecological and environmental modelling. Its aim is to give on the one hand an overview of the field and on the other to teach the reader to develop his own models. These objectives are met by covering the following points: discussion of the modelling procedure in detail and presentation of the development of models step by step; presentation of most model types by use of theory, overview tables on applications, complexity, examples and illustrations; presentation of both simple and complex models; and a ready available software, that contains several small models the reader can use for training in the elementary steps of modelling. Furthermore, the individual chapters can be read independently, which renders it feasible to tailor the book to any course in ecological and environmental modelling.

Review:
Reviews of the previous edition: [Ecological modelling] is obviously a huge area, and this book, which is both an overview and a how-to guide, covers an enormous amount of it.Global Ecology and Biogeography LettersExcellent synoptique.Information Eaux...this book will be an invaluable source of information for a variety of engineers and ecologists, who have a mathematical background and may wish to gain an introduction to the rapidly growing field of ecological and environmental modelling. This book will also be very adequate for courses on this subject.International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry
