virtual ecosystems
Virtual ecosystems are digital environments that mimic real-world ecological systems, allowing users to observe and interact with simulated plants, animals, and environmental factors. They are created through computer models to study complex interactions, test scenarios, or educate about ecological processes. These virtual spaces help scientists, students, and developers understand how organisms coexist, adapt, and respond to changes without impacting real ecosystems. They also support innovations in conservation, urban planning, and resource management by providing a safe, controllable platform for experimentation and analysis.
