Domestic wheat demand in a deregulated environment: modeling the importance of quality characteristics by Edwards, Lawrence James

“…Using these prices, the response in demand for wheat to a number of market scenarios such as regional production variations, regional price variations and quality characteristic variations, are simulated. The results of the simulations suggest that a tariff of 66% as proposed by the Wheat Forum in 1994 overprotects the industry and will lead to substantial increases in bread prices. …”

Changes in food web structure and energy flow in kelp forest ecosystems on the south-west coast of South Africa following the invasion of Jasus lalandii by Steyn, Clara

“…Furthermore, the baseline models reflect the Postinvasion system as more productive and less diverse than the pre-invasion system. Simulations using an Ecosim model showed that, with a reduction in fishing pressure on reef fish and abalone and a simulated increase in fishing pressure on rock lobster, reef fish and adult abalone recovered to pre-invasion levels, whereas juvenile abalone and urchin biomass did not recover, likely due to the difficulty in capturing non-trophic interactions in the trophic models. …”
