The journal is concerned with the use of mathematical models and systems analysis for the description of ecological processes and for
the sustainable management of resources. Human activity and well-being are dependent on and integrated with the functioning of ecosystems
and the services they provide. We aim to understand these basic ecosystem functions using mathematical and conceptual modelling, systems
analysis, thermodynamics, computer simulations, and ecological theory. This leads to a preference for process-based models embedded
in theory with explicit causative agents as opposed to strictly statistical or correlative descriptions. These modelling methods can
be applied to a wide spectrum of issues ranging from basic ecology to human ecology to socio-ecological systems. The journal welcomes
research articles, short communications, review articles, letters to the editor, book reviews, and other communications. The journal
also supports the activities of the International Society of Ecological Modelling (ISEM).
