This model describes phosphorus cycling in a dune-lake system in the Northland region of New Zealand. It is based on stock and flow diagrams where each orange oval represents an input, while each blue box represents a stock. Each arrow represents a flow. Flows involve a loss from the stock at which they start and add to the stock at which they end.

This insight displays some of the main factors effecting the decreasing koala population in South East Queensland, the measures put in place to stop their extinction, and the possible measures that could be taken to further help the conservation effort.

This stock and flow diagram is an updated working draft of a conceptual model of a dune-lake system in the Northland region of New Zealand.

The Logistic Map is a polynomial mapping (equivalently, recurrence relation) of degree 2, often cited as an archetypal example of how complex, chaotic behaviour can arise from very simple non-linear dynamical equations. The map was popularized in a seminal 1976 paper by the biologist Robert May, in part as a discrete-time demographic model analogous to the logistic equation first created by Pierre François Verhulst. 

Mathematically, the logistic map is written

where:

 is a number between zero and one, and represents the ratio of existing population to the maximum possible population at year n, and hence x0 represents the initial ratio of population to max. population (at year 0)r is a positive number, and represents a combined rate for reproduction and starvation. To generate a bifurcation diagram, set 'r base' to 2 and 'r ramp' to 1
To demonstrate sensitivity to initial conditions, try two runs with 'r base' set to 3 and 'Initial X' of 0.5 and 0.501, then look at first ~20 time steps

Simple mass balance model for lakes, based on the Vollenweider equation:

dMw/dt = Min - sMw - Mout

The model was first used in the 1960s to determine the phosphorus concentration in lakes and reservoirs, for eutrophication assessment.

In Chile, 60% of its population are exposed to levels of Particulate Matter (PM) above international standards. Air Pollution is causing 4,000 premature deaths per year, including health costs over US$8 billion.

This model is based off Meadows economic capital with reinforcing growth loop constrained by a renewable resource model.

My AP Environmental Homework for the Cats Over Borneo Assignment

Fooodwaste happens everywhere and in every part of the food cycle even if nobody wants it to happen. 

We created a local solution to reduce the waste. This solution is situated in Belgium (Kotrijk) where an exchange system (for services) already exists and it is called letsleie http://www.letsleie.be.  We did choose letstlei because their exchange system doesn’t work with money but with a fictive money system "vlasbloemen". In their system we want to integrate the exchange of food leftovers. After some years the system could become world wide. 

Our solution begins with an event in a neighbourhood or apartments. This event brings the neighbours together who don't know each anymore. It explains the existing system and the problems of the food waste. Every person had to take a leftover and chefs will create a delicious meal of it. The members will receive a food box who is biodegradable and contains a QR code that will simplify the food/ service exchange. 

 People will talk to each other after the event and more and more people will join without needing new publicity.

A simple phosphorus model for a generic lake.

This model uses simple functions (converters, cosine) to simulate the water balance inside a reservoir.
