Abstract

Model of the dynаmics of bird population in the river floodplain was developed for the purpose of organizing monitoring of floodplain ecosystems. The model is based on the principles of system dynаmics formulated by D. Forrester. A long-term series of observations (1977-2000) in spring and summer in the floodplain of middle Ob in the Kolpashevo District of the Tomsk Region was used. This allowed to improve the structure of the model. The model was implemented with the help of MATLAB 5.2.1 software package. Modeling confirmed the hypothesis that the hydrological regime is the main factor determining the dynamics and structure of bird population in the floodplain of middle Ob.
