Note publique d'information : 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 solved, what are steady states. This
book is intended to bridge this gap. It is intended as an introductory text for graduate
and post-graduate students, but also as a help for experienced ecologists who want
to make more of their data by modelling. It contains many examples, all worked out
in the open-source package R, providing the reader the opportunity to practice all
methods and get hands-on experience. Audience: This book will be of interest to advanced
undergraduate and graduate students in ecology, biology, geology, bio-engineering,
and to some extent students from physics and chemistry.
