Ecosystem Modeling

As global environmental problems become increasingly severe, the stability and functionality of ecosystems face unprecedented challenges. Climate change, changes in land use, rapid loss of biodiversity, and overexploitation of resources are profoundly affecting the ecological balance of the earth. In this context, ecosystem modeling and simulation have become key means to understand ecological processes, predict changing trends, and effectively manage ecosystems. It is not only a powerful tool for studying ecological complexity and coping with environmental problems, but also an important guarantee for achieving harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
