Ecology and Natural Resource Management: Systems Analysis and Simulation / Edition 1

Overview

This book explores the theory and methods of systems analysis and computer modeling as applied to problems in ecology and natural resource management. It reflects the problems and conflicts between competing uses of limited space and the need for quantitative predictors of the outcome of various management strategies.
