Von der hinteren Coverseite
"Handbook of Ecological Modelling and Informatics provides a rare combination of both an approachable introduction to the practice of ecological modeling and a compilation of detailed examples of applying ecological models to actual questions. ...readers who are new to ecological modeling will appreciate the introductory material, those with a particular modeling task in mind are likely to find value in the detailed examples, and even experienced modelers may benefit from the chapters about other modeling sub-disciplines." - Landscape Ecology (V. 25), April 2010.
