中文簡介

該雜志致力于使用數(shù)學模型和系統(tǒng)分析來描述生態(tài)過程和資源的可持續(xù)管理。人類活動和福祉依賴并與生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的功能及其提供的服務相結(jié)合。我們的目標是通過數(shù)學和概念模型、系統(tǒng)分析、熱力學、計算機模擬和生態(tài)學理論來理解這些基本的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)功能。這導致人們更傾向于基于過程的模型，這些模型嵌入了具有顯式原因代理的理論，而不是嚴格的統(tǒng)計或相關(guān)描述。這些建模方法可以應用于從基礎生態(tài)學到人類生態(tài)學到社會生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的廣泛問題。雜志歡迎研究文章、短通信、評論文章、給編輯的信、書評和其他通信。該雜志還支持國際生態(tài)模型學會(ISEM)的活動。

英文簡介

The journal is concerned with the use of mathematical models and systems analysis for the description of ecological processes and for the sustainable management of resources. Human activity and well-being are dependent on and integrated with the functioning of ecosystems and the services they provide. We aim to understand these basic ecosystem functions using mathematical and conceptual modelling, systems analysis, thermodynamics, computer simulations, and ecological theory. This leads to a preference for process-based models embedded in theory with explicit causative agents as opposed to strictly statistical or correlative descriptions. These modelling methods can be applied to a wide spectrum of issues ranging from basic ecology to human ecology to socio-ecological systems. The journal welcomes research articles, short communications, review articles, letters to the editor, book reviews, and other communications. The journal also supports the activities of the International Society of Ecological Modelling (ISEM).
