Ecosystem Simulation

Ecosystem simulation is a method used to model and study complex natural environments, like forests or oceans, using computer programs or mathematical models. These simulations help researchers understand how different components of an ecosystem—such as plants, animals, and microorganisms—interact with each other and their environment. By altering variables (like temperature or species presence), scientists can predict outcomes, assess the impact of human activities, and explore how ecosystems might respond to changes, such as climate change or pollution. This knowledge aids in conservation efforts and informs sustainable practices.
