Abstract: The large ecosystems (region, country, and planet) have many properties common with complex systems. The main such characteristics include dynamic instability (e.g. weather dependence), weak causality (many possible causes per event) and event driven behavior (especially in arid and semi-arid areas). This paper focuses attention on modeling ecosystems by approaches used for complex systems.
