鄂尔多斯高原植物群落季节生长格局模拟

Two main factors hinder the effective incorporation of ecological information from computer models into resource management at large spatial scales: (1) some models are not based on ecologically sound principles; (2) most models based on sound principles are too sophisticated or detailed. This paper presents a generic model based on well established ecological principles with an appropriate level of detail to better server sustainable resource management decision making. The model was developed to simulate ...
