Abstract
The mathematical models of the communities of animals and plants have been developed in detail including their analytic theory as well as simulation computer methods for such models. Present-day models take into account aftereffect and joint influence of different exogenous and endogenous (external and internal) factors. They use various mathematical means including complex ones: partial differential equations, integral and difference equations, optimization methods, etc. Therefore, one of main research problems is choosing a model and justifying the choice with regard for modelling goals and simulation complexity.
