About the course
Theoretical subject.
The course will introduce the students in modelling of ecological system, use of different simulation tools and practical training in modelling. The first part is focused on basic MatLab (-programme) through descriptions and numerical examples. The lectures in the second part of the course focus on general priniciples in modelling of dynamic systems like equilibrity laws and phenmenological laws.
Objectives of the course
The student are supposed to develop an ecological model and report this in a term paper. The course gives the student insight in making models of ecological systems by use of simulation tools.
