Abstract

This chapter introduces the concept of a model, and its role within modern research methodology and the scientific method. Some typical characteristics of the system dynamics models used in carbon cycle studies are described, alongside examples of different ways they can be applied in ecosystem and earth system research. With reference to in-depth discussion and examples throughout the book, we introduce the workflow of six steps you would typically follow when integrating a model within a robust research study design.
