Sobre IBD

Spatial and dynamic computer programs are combined with a Multi-Objective Decision Making (MODM) technique using multiple forest management objectives to provide spatio-temporal solutions for forest management on a landscape scale. Objectives are related to forest stand density as the decision variable using response functions and Compromise Programming. CP is the MODM component of the modeling effort presented in this book, while the USDA Forest Service Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) and ArcGIS are the temporal and spatial components. In ArcGIS, the FVS decision variable output is displayed spatially and is assigned a CP achievement level as an indicator of how well a forest stand meets the best possible solution given all objectives. Displaying the achievement level spatially as it changes through time provides a mechanism for solving a dynamic and spatially varied multi-objective problem at the landscape level, in order to equitably address various forest resource components and their interaction in a holistic and sustainable manner. The modeling effort presented in this work provides valuable information for project managers in their ecosystem approach to forest management.

  • Water from a Transdisciplinary Perspective
    Ana Isabel Pereira Cardoso / Teresinha M. Gonçalves
    Life in cities has distanced human beings from nature and made it difficult to understand the ecology of life dependent on the environment. Urban water collection and distribution processes contribute significantly to the fragmentation of knowledge and the vital recognition of the water cycle. Without the effective participation of the subject in environmental actions, it is no...

  • Modeling Populations of Adaptive Individuals
    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...

    A groundbreaking approach to scale and scaling in ecological theory and practiceScale is one of the most important concepts in ecology, yet researchers often find it difficult to find ecological systems that lend themselves to its study. Scaling in Ecology with a Model System synthesizes nearly three decades of research on the ecology of Sarracenia purpurea-the northern pitcher...

    Carlos Martínez del Rio / William H. Karasov
    Unlocking the puzzle of how animals behave and how they interact with their environments is impossible without understanding the physiological processes that determine their use of food resources. But long overdue is a user-friendly introduction to the subject that systematically bridges the gap between physiology and ecology. Ecologists--for whom such knowledge can help clarif...
