Predictive systems ecology
Human societies, and their well-being, depend to a significant extent on the state of the ecosystems that surround them. These ecosystems are changing rapidly usually in response to anthropogenic changes in the environment. To determine the likely impact of environmental change on ecosystems and the best ways to manage them, it would be desirable to be able to predict their future states. We pr...
متن کاملPredictive ecology: systems approaches.
The world is experiencing significant, largely anthropogenically induced, environmental change. This will impact on the biological world and we need to be able to forecast its effects. In order to produce such forecasts, ecology needs to become more predictive--to develop the ability to understand how ecological systems will behave in future, changed, conditions. Further development of process-...
متن کاملPredictive microbial ecology
Amir Aharoni, Department of Life Sciences and the National Institute for Biotechnology in the Negev (NIBN), Ben-Gurion University, Beer-Sheva, Israel. The size of the microbial world is beyond our imagination. In last year’s crystal ball article, Tom Curtis compared the size of the microbial world to the size of the universe pointing out that the number of microorganisms in the world is billion...
متن کاملPattern-oriented modelling: a 'multi-scope' for predictive systems ecology.
Modern ecology recognizes that modelling systems across scales and at multiple levels-especially to link population and ecosystem dynamics to individual adaptive behaviour-is essential for making the science predictive. 'Pattern-oriented modelling' (POM) is a strategy for doing just this. POM is the multi-criteria design, selection and calibration of models of complex systems. POM starts with i...
متن کاملPredictive Microbiology - Quantitative Microbial Ecology
So what science does “predictive microbiology” cover exactly? In the first book on the subject, published just over 10 years ago, McMeekin et al. (1993) defined it as a quantitative science that enables users to evaluate objectively the effect of processing, distribution and storage operations on the microbiological safety and quality of foods. Later, the same authors used the expression “Quant...
