Abstract

The spatial-temporal dynamics of the population is one of the most interesting aspects and problems for environmental modeling. In this article, we will consider some mathematical models based on one-dimensional reaction-diffusion-advection equations for population growth in a heterogeneous habitat. Considering a number of models of increasing complexity, we investigate often the opposite roles of advection and diffusion for the conservation of the population. Whenever possible, we demonstrate basic mathematical methods and provide critical conditions that ensure the survival of the population, in simple systems and in more complex resourceconsumer models.
