Abstract
Adaptive model for maintaining the processes in the ecological-economic system connected the “Land – Sea” system industrial output, on the one hand, and the contamination level and the marine environment biodiversity index, on the other, is proposed. The paper contains the development of modeling results of such systems obtained using the adaptive method of causes method (the results were published in the 3rd number of this journal, 2015). More complex model of the “Land” economic subsystem which had a great number of logical agents of production profitability management is applied. In the “Sea” ecologic subsystem a model for monitoring over biochemical processes forming the marine environment biodiversity index is proposed. These processes are: the concentrations of phytoplankton, zooplankton, bioresource, biogenic elements, oxygen, carbon dioxide and detritus. Biodiversity index, along with contamination level, was applied for ecological control of marine environment quality. External impact on the “Sea” subsystem is represented by solar radiation, sea upper layer temperature and wind velocity modulus. Being based on analysis of the effect of economic sanctions for pollution upon the processes in marine ecosystem, the model is intended to find a rational balance between the income from marine resources use and the expenditures for preserving marine environment quality. Management agents controlling balance between consumption and reproduction of marine resources are applied in the models of “Land” and “Sea” subsystems, as well as in the integrated system model. The results of great number of simulation experiments demonstrating the possibility of complex “Land – Sea” system management in the modes of rational natural resource use are given. Scenarios of ecological-economic processes arising at transferring industrial production on ecologically clean technologies are constructed, and advantages of such a variant of nature management are shown.
