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

WS 2023/2024
Tu.: 12:00-14:00, PC-Pool (INFO22.01)

Anna Walentowitz

Exercise course, 3 ECTS

Recommended for 3rd semester!

Please note that "Spatial Ecology" and "Modelling of Spatial Ecological Processes" belong together. 

Starting date: 24 October 2023

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.
