Exercise course: Modelling of Spatial Ecological Processes (B4b) (74026)

WS 2022/2023


N.N.

Exercise course, 3 ECTS

Recommended for 3rd semester!

Planned as a block course in winter term 2022-23. Dates and place to follow.

Please note that "Spatial Ecology" and "Modelling of Spatial Ecological Processes" belong together. Please enrol on e-learning.

Learning Objectives:  Spatial processes play an important role in ecology, e.g. for the persistence of single populations, expansion of invasive species or preservation of species diversity. 

During this module, students should develop a problem-oriented understanding for the essential spatial processes like expansion and they should also develop skills to apply and develop dynamic models.

Course Content: The exercise „Modelling of Spatial Ecological Processes“ covers numerical simulations of spatial processes (e.g. cellular automaton models, species distribution models). The relevant modelling approaches will be applied and discussed.
