Based on the author?s many years of teaching graduate and undergraduate students in the United States, Spain, and Latin America, the textbook shows how to implement simulations and analyze the results using an open-source software platform. 606 $aEcology$xMathematical models 606 $aEnvironmental sciences$xMathematical models 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEcology$xMathematical models. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences$xMathematical models. 676 $a577 700 $aAcevedo$b Miguel F.$0930402 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460600103321 996 $aSimulation of ecological and environmental models$92103044 997 $aUNINA
