INSTITUTE OF PHYSICO-CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN SOIL SCIENCE OF THE RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS IN BIOLOGY OF THE RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES SECOND RUSSIAN NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE WITH INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPATION «MATHEMATICAL MODELLING IN ECOLOGY» (ECOMATMOD-2011) FIRST CIRCULAR Dear colleagues, The Second Russian National Scientific Conference with International participation will be held in Pushchino Moscow Region, Russia from May 23 to 27 2011. Oral and poster presentations are welcome in the areas of modelling, taking decisions and ecosystem management, ecosystem approach for natural resources management, sustainable development; modelling of elements cycles in ecosystems, modelling of growth and development, modelling of population and communities dynamics, prognosis of biodiversity changes; modelling of catastrophic impacts on ecosystems: invasions and epidemics, insect attacks pollutions, forest fires, flooding and draughts. Sessions planned: 1. Approaches and methods in ecological modelling, systems of models. 2. Modelling of elements cycles in terrestrial ecosystems. 3. Ecological complexity, mathematical aspects, statistical modelling. 4. Models of trees; models of plant populations and communities. 5. Models of populations and communities of microorganisms and animals. 6. Models of aquatic ecosystems 7. Global and regional modelling 8. Models in soil science and landscape ecology In 2011 we celebrate 100 year from birthday of outstanding scientist, one of the founders of Mathematical Ecology in USSR Prof. Alexei A. Lyapunov. We plan several invited lectures about his ideas in different branches of Mathematics. Orgcommittee invites participants of the Conference to prepare their own memoirs about Alexei Lyapunov continuing thereby a tradition of stories on the history of Mathematical Biology in Russia founded at 1-st Conference in 2009.
