Model approaches to description of critical phenomena in forest ecosystems

  • Published:
Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

Methodological bases of optimization modeling approach are considered in regard to describing critical phenomena in forest ecosystems. Models of insects’ outbreaks, forest successions, forest fires as second order phase transitions are proposed. It is shown that there is fair correlation between model calculations and observations data.
