Ecological-Economic Modelling
Most of the world's ecosystems are affected by human activities, be it indirectly e.g. through human-induced climate change
or directly e.g. through land clearing and harvesting of resources. The conservation of biodiversity and the maintenance of
ecosystem services therefore have an ecological as well as an economic dimension. Deriving strategies to conserve biodiversity
and use the resources of ecosystems in a sustainable manner requires the integrated consideration of both these dimensions.
