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 ...
Trophic models of aquatic ecosystems
Type: Conference Proceedings
A large proportion of the contributions to the ICES Theme Session on "Trophic models in aquatic ecosystems" is presented, together with papers of a number of scientists and very experienced ecosystem modellers.
Tracking nutrient flows in a multi-enterprise farming systems with a mass-balance model (ECOPATH)
Type: Book Chapter
Whether grown for sale or for on-farm consumption, vegetables and other crops are often managed as stand-alone, monoculture enterprises. Integrated farming can help improve the nutrient output-input balance sheet and ...
A quantitative approach for assessing the productive performance and ecological contributions of smallholder farms
Type: Journal Article
A pragmatic framework for monitoring, modelling, analysing, and comparing the state and performance of integrated agroecosystems is proposed. Four smallholder rice farms (1.36€“2.76 hectares) €” including monoculture rice ...
Resources ecology of the Bolinao coral reef system
Type: Journal Article
The book describes an intensive four-year program of monitoring the community ecology and harvest patterns of a large fringing coral reef system in northeastern Philippines. Reef harvest methods included principally ...
Structuring dynamic models of exploited ecosystems from trophic mass-balance assessment
Type: Journal Article
The linear equations that describe trophic fluxes in mass-balance, equilibrium assessments of ecosystems (such as in the ECOPATH approach) can be re-expressed as differential equations defining trophic interactions as ...
Guide du logiciel ECOPATH II (version 2.1)
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 ...
