Modelling and simulation of ecosystems. Workshop Kölpinsee 2015.

Abstract

Since 1997 the GI expert group "Simulation in environmental and geosciences" and the GI-ASIM expert group "Simulation in environmental science, geology, medicine and biology" (SUGMB) have been held the annual workshop "Modelling and Simulation of Ecosystems" in the seaside resort Kölpinsee in order to promote and develop modelling and simulation in theory and practice as well as simulation applications in ecology, environmental and spatial planning further. This book documents the revised contributions to the 19th Workshop "Modelling and Simulation of Ecosystems" in 2015. This workshop was the last one that could take place in seaside resort Kölpinsee. The contributions reflect the variety of approaches and tools of the modellers as well as the wide range of modelling and simulation of ecosystems. The authors describe various models, calculation algorithms, modelling techniques and tools, such as agent-based modelling, fuzzy modelling, Spatial Analysis and Modelling Tool (SAMT), MIKE HYDRO BASIN Model, CALMET/CALPUFF and data envelopment analysis. The authors have partly further developed or modified some modelling approaches. The papers presented here bring together current research, results, problems and applications with methodological and planning practical significance.
