中文简介

该杂志致力于使用数学模型和系统分析来描述生态过程和资源的可持续管理。人类活动和福祉依赖并与生态系统的功能及其提供的服务相结合。我们的目标是通过数学和概念模型、系统分析、热力学、计算机模拟和生态学理论来理解这些基本的生态系统功能。这导致人们更倾向于基于过程的模型，这些模型嵌入了具有显式原因代理的理论，而不是严格的统计或相关描述。这些建模方法可以应用于从基础生态学到人类生态学到社会生态系统的广泛问题。杂志欢迎研究文章、短通信、评论文章、给编辑的信、书评和其他通信。该杂志还支持国际生态模型学会(ISEM)的活动。

英文简介

The journal is concerned with the use of mathematical models and systems analysis for the description of ecological processes and for the sustainable management of resources. Human activity and well-being are dependent on and integrated with the functioning of ecosystems and the services they provide. We aim to understand these basic ecosystem functions using mathematical and conceptual modelling, systems analysis, thermodynamics, computer simulations, and ecological theory. This leads to a preference for process-based models embedded in theory with explicit causative agents as opposed to strictly statistical or correlative descriptions. These modelling methods can be applied to a wide spectrum of issues ranging from basic ecology to human ecology to socio-ecological systems. The journal welcomes research articles, short communications, review articles, letters to the editor, book reviews, and other communications. The journal also supports the activities of the International Society of Ecological Modelling (ISEM).
