Mathematical Models for the Assessment of an Environmental System in Landscape Ecology

In the framework of the theory of Landscape Ecology, a review of Lotka-Volterrra type models is proposed. Such models can be considered useful tools in order to represent and evaluate the dynamical behavior and the ecological stability of an environmental system which, as known, is subjected during time to several transformations. At this purpose, after such a review and presentation of different models, an application to an important wine region in France is performed using a model recently introduced in literature.
