Evaluation and Development of Ecosystem Models Assessing Environmental Impact

摘要

This report reviews progress in 1978 in evaluating and comparing simulation models as tools in assessing environmental impact. This work has emphasized three major tasks: (1) Continuation of model comparison and evaluation of (a) fish and whole ecosystem models and (b) models built specifically for nuclear power plants; (2) development of analytical models translating short term impact predictions into long term projections of effects on fish populations; (3) publication of results on our comparison of plankton models in the open literature.
