Modelling
Environmental disturbance can result in adaptive
responses, stress syndromes, disease and changes in
functional biodiversity in living systems (i.e., microbes,
plants, animals and functional ecosystems)
due to perturbation of the complex interactive functional
networks or biocomplexity, that give rise to
whole system function. A complex system cannot
be understood through a reductionist approach: this
would be like trying to understand the global economy
by observing a stockbroker in his or her office. However,
by adopting a “middle-out” approach, which
combines simulation with empirical data, we should
be able to describe the behaviour of complex whole
systems such as cells, tissues and animals [34,111].
Biocomplexity models will be able to simulate “virtual
organisms”. These models will be based on an inproteomic,
metabolomic, cellular and higher level biological
processes. Access to such tools will be essential
in the future for environmental managers and regulators;
where they will be used in integrated environmental
evaluation strategies for risk assessment and
prediction in order to manage resource sustainability
