Environmental Simulation Models

Environmental simulation models are computer-based tools used to replicate and analyze natural processes and human impacts on the environment. They help scientists predict how ecosystems behave under different conditions, such as climate change or pollution. By inputting various data, these models can simulate future scenarios, allowing researchers and policymakers to understand potential outcomes and make informed decisions. Essentially, they act like virtual laboratories, helping us explore complex environmental issues without needing to conduct experiments in the real world. This approach supports better planning and management of natural resources and conservation efforts.
