Abstract: 

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the conditions under which
models can be applied. Modelling can help to solve specific problems,
but not all questions in ecology require or benefit from the application
of a model. It is therefore necessary to have an idea about the
criteria under which the development of a model can provide useful
information or help to solve questions in ecological analysis and which
conceptual and technical approaches are the most appropriate ones.
Technical knowledge about the particular modelling techniques is
presented in the subsequent chapter of this book. Here, we intend to
give an overview of the basic criteria of model application.
