Theoretical principles of mathematical modelling of ecological systems

The ecological systems of tundra, iaiga, steppe, deciduous and desert zones of the USSR territory were investigated with the aim of development of theoretical principles of the mathematical modelling of ecological processes on the indivtdual, population, cenotic and ecosystematic levels of biological organization. As a result a new concept of ecological system as a differential of biosphere was suggested. New methods of quantitative description of the basic and realized ecological niche were suggested. A system of basic mathematical equations for the description of ecological processes was developed. The multi-dimensional ecological niche of the pine-tree was described for the first time. A new formula for the quantitative estimation of the biotic potential of the populations was developed. The results obtained may find their field of application in biology, nature protection, education, problems of global changes of climate and environmentAvailable from VNTIC / VNTIC - Scientific & Technical Information Centre of RussiaSIGLERURussian Federatio
