VERTICUM-TYPE SYSTEMS APPLIED TO ECOLOGICAL MONITORING

Abstract

In the paper ecological interaction chains of the type resource – producer – primary user – secondary consumer are considered. The dynamic behaviour of these four-level chains is modelled by a system of differential equations, the linearization of which is a verticum-type system introduced for the study of industrial verticums. Applying the technique of such systems, for the monitoring of the considered ecological system, an observer system is constructed, which makes it possible to recover the whole state process from the partial observation of the ecological interaction chain.
