What is Ecosystem Modeling ?

• Ecosystem models describe the effect of climate variables and host

plant conditions on bark beetle population abundance using
statistical and analytical techniques, or a combination of the two.

• statistical ecosystem models provide a statistical association between

field-based conditions of host trees, insect population success, and
weather

• This type of model is often referred to as a risk or hazard model, and

the goal is to describe forest and weather conditions that promote
bark beetle population outbreaks.
• Process-based ecosystem models incorporate at least some
ecosystem and bark beetle processes.

• In addition to describing how climate and ecosystem properties affect

bark beetle outbreaks, they also describe how outbreaks and climate
influence future ecosystem composition and structure.

• For these types of models, bark beetle population abundance is

typically measured as plant impacts estimated from measures of the
number of trees or plants killed derived from remotely sensed data,
aerial surveys, pheromone traps or ground plots
 Ecosystem Interation On Basis Of Species
Interaction
• These are of two types

1. Intra - Specific Interaction

2. Inter - Specific Interaction

 Types Of Interaction in Ecosystem Modelling of
Species Interaction
• 1. Competitive

• 2.Predation and Herbivory

• 3.Symbiosis: Mutualism, Commensalism and Parasitism
