Computer modelling of processes in ecosystems--general principles.
Concept of the mathematical modelling of ecosystems is presented, starting with a set of variables and a set of relations. Examples are given for the models of plant populations in terrestrial ecosystems. The differences between well-structured and ill-structured problems are shown with some methodological consequences for strategy of applications of computer models.
