Scientist often times use ecological models to help them represent parts of an ecosystem and to help them understand environmental interactions or even make predictions. Theses models are then tested by comparing them to observations from the real world. Ecological models can help with environmental problems by providing possible solutions‚ sometimes this cannot always work though‚ since its cannot
