A Practical Guide to Ecological Modelling Using R as a Simulation Platform

A Practical Guide to Ecological Modelling Using R as a Simulation Platform / by Karline Soetaert, Peter M. J. Herman.

Many texts on ecological models jump to describing either particular relations or computational results, without treating in detail the conceptual and mathematical basis of many steps in modelling: why set up models, what are basic conceptual models, how do conservation laws come in, how are models...
