Riassunto

Dynamic Modeling for Marine Conservation provides a method of describing marine systems to people from many different fields. The difficulties of research and experimentation in the ocean make computer modeling a particularly helpful tool in marine conservation, and models are also well-suited to communicate the complexity of systems. Each chapter introduces a key issue or principle in marine conservation, and guides the reader through a computer model using the included STELLA software. Selected contributors discuss real-world applications of each model, bringing experience and expertise in marine conservation.

Recensione

From the reviews:

"The main aim of this book is to explore the ecological complexity in marine systems in the light of setting a new conservation agenda using the power of dynamic modeling via the graphical programming language of STELLA Research software. ... I recommend this book to anyone interested in actively learning about and understanding the new challenges in marine conservation and related issues." (Andrea Belgrano, Ecology, Vol. 83 (9), 2002)
