The use of Eclipse as a basis for a simulation platform for ecological models
Marcel Austenfeld
The use of Eclipse as a basis for a simulation platform for ecological models 2
Background
● Many questions in ecology are not easy to analyze (e.g. processes of patterns: long-term changes of temperature, effects of different disturbance regimes etc.).
● Long-term prognoses are difficult.
● Models are a possibility to simulate uncertain quantities

Mission: Development of a model for the analysisof vegetation dynamics in dry acidic grasslands
Location characteristics:
● Extreme conditions (water limited, nutrient limited)
● High disturbance frequency
● Harbors rare species.
