A guide to ECOPATH II software system (version 2.0)
Type: Manual
This guide documents the use and background of the ECOPATH II software system written for MS DOS computers for straightforward construction and parametrization of steady-state trophic models of aquatic ecosystems. ECOPATH ...
Measuring ecological stress: variations on a theme by R.M. Warwick
Type: Journal Article
Two new indices are presented which reflect quantitatively the changes to be expected in an ecological community under stress, as previously described by R. M. Warwick. The indices summarize information which he presented ...
A trophic ecosystem model of Lake George, Uganda
Type: Book Chapter
A trophic model of Lake George, Uganda, Central Africa was constructed using published quantitative and qualitative information on the various biotic components of the lake and the ECOPATH II approach and software. It is ...
Flow characteristics of aquatic ecosystems
Type: Book Chapter
This contribution examines various flow measures based on analysis of 41 quantified models of trophic interactions in aquatic ecosystems.
The climate and eastern ocean systems project
Type: Journal Article
A brief description of the NMFS/ORSTOM/ILCARM climate and Eastern Ocean systems (CEOS) project is given. CEOS will study the four major eastern boundary current regions (Peru/Chile, California, Northwest and Southwest ...
Stratified models of large marine ecosystems: a general approach and an application the South China Sea
Type: Book Chapter
This contribution provides an approach for constructing models of large marine ecosystems (LMEs). This contribution results from an attempt to follow up on some of the implications of the LME concept for ecological modeling, ...
A draft guide to the ECOPATH II program (ver. 1.0)
Type: Manual
This guide documents the use and background of a program written for MSDOS Computers, in QUICKBASIC 4.5, for straightforward construction and parametrization of steady-state trophic models of aquatic ecosystems. The ECOPATH ...
A guide to the ECOPATH II software system (version 2.1)
Type: Manual
The software described in the present guide is designed to help user construct a simple model of an aquatic ecosystem.
On holism, reductionism and working from 9 to 5
Type: Journal Article
A discussion is presented on the 2 approaches - holism and reductionism - in the study of environmental sciences, making reference to various projects presently being conducted by ICLARM and its collaborators using the ...
Changes in models of aquatic ecosystems approaching carrying capacity
Type: Journal Article
Using a top-down modeling approach, published mass-balance models of trophic interactions and state variables in the western central Pacific Ocean and the northern Gulf of Mexico shelf were used to explore how large increases ...
