Abstract: |
A
general approach to modelling of ecosystem dynamic is considered. The special
term "coenome" is proposed for basic dynamic element of
biogeocoenoses. The coe- nome is an association of populations
which have com- plementary properties (up to symbioses) or united by
trophical links. Each succession stage is characterised by a major dominant
coenome. The succession process is considered as a process of step-by-step
changing domi- nating coenome. Sketch models of the coenome are considered.
The application of M. Eigen’s hypercycle for modelling of ecosystem
successions is proposed. The model describes a specific interaction between
coe- nomes, which are similar, but not equivalent to the com- petition and
“host-parasite" relations. As a result of the interaction, a
redistribution of ecological resources may take place. During several steps
of the succession proc- ess, the ecosystem "selects" its optimal dimension
and complexity. Succession process is considered as reach- ing optimal
complexity of ecosystems. |
