This book will teach researchers and students interested in spatial modeling how to simulate the complex dynamics of landscapes. Managers and decision makers will acquire tools for predicting changes in landscapes. The authors cover spatial modeling, from conceptual design, through formal implementation and analysis, to the interpretation of the results. The open-sourced Spatial Modeling Environment (SME), which was developed for spatial models of ecosystems, watersheds, populations,...
More DescriptionThis book will teach researchers and students interested in spatial modeling how to simulate the complex dynamics of landscapes. Managers and decision makers will acquire tools for predicting changes in landscapes. The authors cover spatial modeling, from conceptual design, through formal implementation and analysis, to the interpretation of the results. The open-sourced Spatial Modeling Environment (SME), which was developed for spatial models of ecosystems, watersheds, populations, and landscapes, is included on the enclosed CD along with color illustrations, models and data from the examples in the book.
