Predictive ecology: systems approaches
England (London)
18.04.2011 - 19.04.2011
9.00am - 5.00pm
Prediction is needed in ecology, not least because the world is changing and there is a demand for robust predictions about the ecological impact of these changes. Prediction is best when underpinned by process-based models, but complex ecological systems are problematic to model. This meeting will explore different modelling approaches for ecological systems and the strengths and limitations of systems approaches.
