This study explored ecosystem dynamics using a three-species microbial model. An individual-based model successfully reproduced colony formation and population dynamics, advancing ecosystem research.

Area of Science:

  • Ecology
  • Systems Biology
  • Astrobiology

Background:

  • Understanding space environment effects on ecosystems is crucial for space utilization.
  • Previous research focused on individual organisms, neglecting multi-species interactions.
  • Microcosms offer a model for studying complex, multi-species ecosystems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate universal characteristics of ecosystems using a minimal food chain model.
  • To understand the network dynamics of a closed ecosystem.
  • To develop and validate a simulation model for ecosystem structures like colonies.

Main Methods:

  • A closed ecosystem model with Chlorella (producer), bacteria (decomposer), and rotifer (consumer) was established.
  • An individual-based model was employed, applying local rules for species interactions.

  • The model's predictions were compared against experimental results from terrestrial environments.

    • Main Results:

    • The individual-based model successfully reproduced colony formation, an observed ecological structure.
    • The model accurately simulated population transitions and ratios, aligning with experimental data.
    • This approach overcomes limitations of traditional models in capturing spatial structures and heterogeneity.

    Conclusions:

    • Individual-based models are effective for simulating ecosystem spatial structures and emergent properties.
    • The study provides a validated framework for understanding ecosystem dynamics, applicable to space environments.
    • This research contributes to the development of sustainable closed ecosystems for space exploration.
