WHAT IS IT?

This model explores the stability of the consumer producer ecosystems in the Serengetti related to two primary consumers (Buffalo and Wildebeest) that have an overlapping range they graze in, for part of the year.

HOW IT WORKS

HOW TO USE IT

  1. Adjust the slider parameters (see below), or use the default settings.

  2. Press the SETUP button.

  3. Press the GO button to begin the model run.
