Abstract
The complexity of environmental systems requires joint effort from different disciplines such as ecology, chemistry, geography, geology, hydrology, hydraulics etc. Pure or hard sciences strive to be exact, expressing the behavior of physical systems by means of “laws” encoded for instance as partial differential equations or complicated dynamical systems. On the other hand, disciplines such as social and biological sciences, ecology express their knowledge mostly in the form of connections and rules, rather than in an explicit mathematical form. It is thus extremely difficult to combine these models in order to construct complex environmental models.
