Question
Chapter 54.1, Problem 3SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The collection of data before constructing a simulation model of an ecosystem.
Introduction:
The conceptual model only portrays the general functions of an ecosystem and ignores the study of the working of an ecosystem. However, simulation modeling helps ecologists to understand an ecosystem’s response to changes in physical factors, energy flow, climate change, and the availability of nutrients.
