Abstract

On the basis of a statistical analysis of the papers published in Ecological Modelling from 1975 to 1996, it has been attempted to examine the development of the field of ecological modelling and systems ecology. It was found that while models of aquatic ecosystems and management issues were more in focus in the 1970s, terresterial ecosystems and ecological theory have gained attention during the 1990s. Interest in ecotoxicological models seems to have increased only slightly during the entire period. It is interesting that financial support for the area of ecological modelling and systems ecology is closely related to the number of publications, which can be seen from the number of papers published by various countries in the journal. Hopefully, this clear message can be used to show to politicians that these relationships are real.
