Abstract

In the previous chapters we have described a spectrum of different
modelling techniques and application examples. Now we return to
overarching aspects which are relevant for model developments of
different types. Model validity and considerations which conclusions can
be derived from model results are presented jointly for different
modelling techniques and application fields. Furthermore, we discuss
adequate means of communicating the models to others. The overall views
are largely theory-based and show that knowledge on the theoretical
background can present an important guidance to making the most
appropriate use of ecological modelling results.
