Models of soil organic matter dynamics: problems and perspectives
Computer Research and Modeling, 2016, v. 8, no. 2, pp. 391-399Soil as a complex multifunctional open system is one of the most difficult object for modeling. In spite of serious achievements in the soil system modeling, existed models do not reflect all aspects and processes of soil organic matter mineralization and humification. The problems and “hot spots” in the modeling of the dynamics of soil organic matter and biophylous elements were identified on a base of creation and wide implementation of ROMUL and EFIMOD models. The following aspects are discussed: further theoretical background; improving the structure of models; preparation and uncertainty of the initial data; inclusion of all soil biota (microorganisms, micro- and meso-fauna) as factors of humification; impact of soil mineralogy on C and N dynamics; hydro-thermal regime and organic matter distribution in whole soil profile; vertical and horizontal migration of soil organic matter. An effective feedback from modellers to experimentalists is necessary to solve the listed problems.

Modeling the number of employed, unemployed and economically inactive population in the Russian Far East
Computer Research and Modeling, 2021, v. 13, no. 1, pp. 251-264Studies of the crisis socio-demographic situation in the Russian Far East require not only the use of traditional statistical methods, but also a conceptual analysis of possible development scenarios based on the synergy principles. The article is devoted to the analysis and modeling of the number of employed, unemployed and economically inactive population using nonlinear autonomous differential equations. We studied a basic mathematical model that takes into account the principle of pair interactions, which is a special case of the model for the struggle between conditional information of D. S. Chernavsky. The point estimates for the parameters are found using least squares method adapted for this model. The average approximation error was no more than 5.17%. The calculated parameter values correspond to the unstable focus and the oscillations with increasing amplitude of population number in the asymptotic case, which indicates a gradual increase in disparities between the employed, unemployed and economically inactive population and a collapse of their dynamics. We found that in the parametric space, not far from the inertial scenario, there are domains of blow-up and chaotic regimes complicating the ability to effectively manage. The numerical study showed that a change in only one model parameter (e.g. migration) without complex structural socio-economic changes can only delay the collapse of the dynamics in the long term or leads to the emergence of unpredictable chaotic regimes. We found an additional set of the model parameters corresponding to sustainable dynamics (stable focus) which approximates well the time series of the considered population groups. In the mathematical model, the bifurcation parameters are the outflow rate of the able-bodied population, the fertility (“rejuvenation of the population”), as well as the migration inflow rate of the unemployed. We found that the transition to stable regimes is possible with the simultaneous impact on several parameters which requires a comprehensive set of measures to consolidate the population in the Russian Far East and increase the level of income in terms of compensation for infrastructure sparseness. Further economic and sociological research is required to develop specific state policy measures.
