Edited by Marco A. Janssen, School of Human Evolution and Social Change, Arizona State University, US

The quality of ecosystems is affected by the actions of different stakeholders who use them in a variety of ways.

The authors in this book attempt to do this by applying multi-agent systems to the problems of ecosystem management.
