This paper discusses a project, introducing a dynamic product flow model for optimizing mixed ecological farms. Mixed ecological farms focus upon closing cycles and management is based on control of ecological processes. The aim is to provide a tool for farmers to tune their farm to its specific ecological, economical and social environment. The production process is modeled in terms of cyclic ...

The interpretation of ecological data has been greatly improved by bridging the gap between ecological and statistical models. The major challenge is to separate competing hypotheses concerning demography, or other ecological relationships, and environmental variability (noise). In this paper we demonstrate that this may be an arduous, if not impossible, task. It is the lack of adequate ecologi...

Understanding how governance structures align to ecological processes in a landscape is critical for effective management of ecological resources. Ecological resources are not independent from each other, instead they are interconnected, and their well-being is often critically dependent on upholding ecological connectivity, especially in times of change and disturbances. Coordination and colla...

A three species food chain model is studied analytically as well as numerically. Integrability of the model is studied using Painlevé analysis while chaotic behaviour is studied using numerical techniques, such as calculation of Lyapunov exponents, plotting the bifurcation diagram and phase plots. We correct and critically comment on the wrong results reported recently on this ecological model,...
