Ce modèle simule la dynamique d'une population dont la croissance est limitée par son environnement, un cas d'étude inspiré par la gestion des stocks de légine australe dans l'océan Austral.
Contrairement au modèle de croissance exponentielle (conditions idéales), la croissance de la légine n'est pas infinie. Les ressources (nourriture, espace) sont limitées et la compétition augmente avec la population. Ce phénomène, appelé densité-dépendance, crée une auto-régulation qui freine la croissance et la fait tendre vers une limite : la capacité de charge (K). De plus, cette population est soumise à une pression extérieure : la pêche.
Les Composants du Modèle :
Variable d'état : L'Effectif du stock (N) de légines, qui est au cœur du système.
Paramètres Fondamentaux : Les caractéristiques biologiques de la légine et de son milieu déterminent les paramètres de sa croissance. Vous pouvez régler ces paramètres avec les curseurs :
bmax et dmin : Les taux de natalité et de mortalité optimaux, quand la densité est faible.
ddb et ddd : L'intensité de la compétition. Ils mesurent à quel point la reproduction ralentit et la mortalité augmente quand la population devient trop dense.
Flux :
Les flux de Naissances (B) et de Morts (D) ne sont plus simplement proportionnels à N, mais sont maintenant régulés par la densité.
Un nouveau flux de sortie contrôlé par l'homme est ajouté : la Pêche (Fisheries).
Indicateurs : Le modèle calcule des propriétés "émergentes" cruciales pour les gestionnaires, comme le taux de croissance maximal (rmax) et la Capacité de Charge (K) de l'écosystème.
Votre Mission d'Exploration :
Votre objectif est de devenir un gestionnaire de pêcherie durable !
Commencez avec une pêche nulle (Fisheries = 0) pour observer la courbe de croissance logistique naturelle de la légine et identifier sa capacité de charge K.
Introduisez ensuite un effort de pêche modéré. Quel est son impact sur la taille de la population à l'équilibre ?
Explorez différentes intensités de pêche pour trouver le Rendement Maximal Soutenable (RMS) : la plus grande quantité de poissons que vous pouvez pêcher chaque année sans provoquer l'effondrement du stock. Cliquez sur "SIMULATE" et gérez votre ressource !
Collapse of the economy, not just recession, is now very likely. To give just one possible cause,
in the U.S. the fracking industry is in deep trouble. It is not only that most
fracking companies have never achieved a free cash flow (made a profit)
since the fracking boom started in 2008, but that an already very weak and unprofitable oil industry cannot cope with
extremely low oil prices. The result will be the imminent collapse of the
industry. However, when the fracking industry collapses in the US, so will the American
economy – and by extension, probably, the rest of the world economy. To grasp a
second and far more serious threat it is vital to understand the phenomenon of ‘Global
Dimming’. Industrial activity not only produces greenhouse gases, but
emits also sulphur dioxide which converts to reflective sulphate aerosols in the
atmosphere. Sulphate aerosols act like little mirrors that reflect sunlight
back into space, cooling the atmosphere. But when economic activity stops, these
aerosols (unlike carbon dioxide) drop out of the atmosphere, adding perhaps as
much as 1° C to global average temperatures. This can happen in a very short period
time, and when it does mankind will be bereft of any means to mitigate the
furious onslaught of an out-of-control and merciless climate. The data and the unrelenting
dynamic of the viral pandemic paint bleak picture. As events unfold in the next few months, we may discover that it is too late to act, that our reign on this planet has, indeed, come to an abrupt end?

This model simulates the population of the City of Toronto using a logistic (density-dependent) structure with three flows: births, deaths, and net migration. Births and deaths use roughly balanced constant per-capita rates, because Toronto's population is relatively young, a fact that continual immigration helps sustain. Net migration is the dominant driver of the city's real-world growth, and it's modeled as density-dependent: as the population approaches an estimated housing/land-constrained carrying capacity, net in-migration tapers toward zero, so growth slows and the population levels off rather than growing without bound.
Toronto Population Growth: A Logistic Model Driven by Migration
The limits to growth structure is based on the basic growth structure. And, as should be obvious, nothing grows forever as growth requires resources. Those required resources become a limits to growth. See also Archetypes.
This system diagram represents population levels for humans ranging from the world population level down to the Oshawa population level. This diagram consists of stocks which represent World, Canada, Ontario, Durham Region, and Oshawa in terms of number of people. The flows in the diagram represent the movement of people between the population levels in terms of people per year.
