We develop a novel theoretical framework for studying ecosystems in which interacting state variables which are affected by management decisions diffuse in space. We identify (i) mechanisms creating spatial patterns when economic agents maximize profit at each site by ignoring the impact of...

Resource-based models of species competition have been introduced recently as an alternative to the classical theory based on the Lotca-Volterra methodological approach to species competition. We consider economic management of an ecosystem for a Tilman model of mechanistic resource-based...
