Complexity and Ecosystem Management

Edited by Marco A. Janssen

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The quality of ecosystems is affected by the actions of different stakeholders who use them in a variety of ways. In order to understand this complex relationship between humans and nature, it is vital to understand the complexity of the interacting agents. The authors in this book attempt to do this by applying multi-agent systems to the problems of ecosystem management.
