| 520 3# - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | The book aims to bridge the gap between conventional ecological modelling and 'ecophysics', a neologism that stands for approaching ecological and environmental problems using ideas and techniques from physics. Such an approach to the involved complex systems has demonstrated its usefulness to enhance our understanding of intrinsically interdisciplinary problems and inform sustainable practices in agriculture, conservation and environmental management. The motivation behind this book is twofold: to enhance comprehension and to bolster our capacity to tackle practical challenges using rigorous quantitative methods. This is why the structure of the book is designed such that each chapter dedicated to methods in community/population ecology is accompanied by an Application chapter, which presents the practical implementation of the discussed methods. A main objective of these latter chapters is to actively involve readers interested in devising tools and strategies to address their own issues. Among the Applications provided, the first two focus on optimizing agricultural production, specifically livestock production and polyculture crops. The other Applications centre around environmental concerns, including the dynamics of tree species in tropical forests, the identification of early warning signals for catastrophic shifts in lakes and the dynamics of land use/land cover (LULC), i.e. the categorization or classification of human activities and natural elements on the landscape. What unites these diverse problems is their reliance on population dynamics models. |

| 545 ## - BIOGRAPHICAL OR HISTORICAL DATA | |
| Biographical or historical data | Hugo Fort is a Professor at the Physics Department of the Faculty of Sciences of the Republic University (Montevideo, Uruguay) and Head of the Complex System Group. After earning his PhD in physics from the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 1994, he conducted research on quantum field theory. Since 2001, his scientific interests evolved from theoretical physics to complex systems and mathematical modelling applied to problems in biology, with a focus in ecology and evolution. A main goal of his research is to develop quantitative methods and tools for a wide variety of practical problems in fields ranging from agro-economy to environmental and real-time evolution. Fort is currently involved in several international research collaborations pursuing used-inspired basic science. A central aim is to connect ecological and evolutionary problems with well-studied phenomena in physics to gain deeper insight into these problems, to identify novel questions and problems, and to get access to alternative powerful computational tools. Professor Fort has previously published two books with IOP, the first edition of Ecological Modelling and Ecophysics and Forecasting with Maximum Entropy: The Interface Between Physics, Biology, Economics and Information Theory. |
