A practical guide to ecological modelling - using R as a simulation platform

Description

Figures, data sets and examples from the book "A practical guide to ecological modelling - using R as a simulation platform" by Karline Soetaert and Peter MJ Herman (2008). Springer.

All figures from chapter x can be generated by demo(chapx), where x = 1 to 11.

The R-scripts of the model examples discussed in the book are in subdirectory "examples", ordered per chapter.

Solutions to model projects are in the same subdirectories.
