Hugo Fort

Ecological Modelling and Ecophysics (Second Edition) (eBook, ePUB)

Agricultural and environmental applications

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The book seeks to integrate conventional ecological modelling and methods borrowed from physics to address interdisciplinary ecological and environmental challenges, aiming to enhance understanding and inform sustainable practices in agriculture, conservation, and environmental management through rigorous quantitative methods. It presents a structured approach with chapters on methods in community/population ecology followed by practical application chapters, encouraging reader engagement in devising solutions.

Autorenporträt

Hugo Fort is a Professor at the Physics Department of the Faculty of Sciences of the Republic University (Montevideo, Uruguay) and Head of the Complex System Group. After earning his PhD in physics from the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 1994, he conducted research on quantum field theory. Since 2001, his scientific interests evolved from theoretical physics to complex systems and mathematical modelling applied to problems in biology, with a focus in ecology & evolution. A main goal of his research is to develop quantitative methods and tools for a wide variety of practical problems in fields ranging from agro-economy to environmental and real-time evolution. Fort is currently involved in several international research collaborations pursuing used-inspired basic science. A central aim is to connect ecological and evolutionary problems with well-studied phenomena in physics to gain deeper insight into these problems, to identify novel questions and problems, and to get access to alternative powerful computational tools. Professor Fort has previously published two books with IOP, the first edition of Ecological Modelling and Ecophysics and Forecasting with Maximum Entropy: The Interface Between Physics, Biology, Economics and Information Theory.
