Modelling as a tool

Modelling as a tool The three examples mentioned, illustrate some kinds of mathematical modelling. These were all models of isolated sub-systems. The impression may exist that it is not yet possible to model the total algal assemblage. This possibility however, depends on the aim of the model. When the aim is to predict the maximum biomass, the model of LOS (1980) can be used. When prediction of the actual biomass as well as the transition states from one maximum to the other is aimed, there is still work to be done. The same applies when one wants a model that predicts zooplankton and fish too. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Aquatic Ecology Springer Journals

Abstract

The three examples mentioned, illustrate some kinds of mathematical modelling. These were all models of isolated sub-systems. The impression may exist that it is not yet possible to model the total algal assemblage. This possibility however, depends on the aim of the model. When the aim is to predict the maximum biomass, the model of LOS (1980) can be used. When prediction of the actual biomass as well as the transition states from one maximum to the other is aimed, there is still work to be done. The same applies when one wants a model that predicts zooplankton and fish too.
