Abstract
Mathematical models have become indispensable tools in contemporary ecology and environmental science. To facilitate an efficient (re-)usage of these models, the documentation and information system ECOBAS was designed. The o bjective of the project is to enable complete and consistent documentation of models as well as to make them accessible and comparable. The informatio n requirements are outlined and the components of ECOBAS are explained. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
