In this study, the issue of the ecological stability of the soil and vegetation cover of the North-Western Near-Caspian arid zones within the borders of the Black Lands (BL) of the Republic of Kalmykia was considered. Modeling was carried out of the open systems’ thermodynamics principles using continuous and discrete formalisms. Models presented in the form of systems of ordinary differential equations, Markov’s circuits, and autonomous impulse processes show the possibility of their application in the management of pasture feed stocks. Modeling with the systems of differential equations makes it possible to identify points of stable states of pasture systems. Markov circuits are able to establish an optimal animal load on these systems. A computational algorithm for determining the stability of pasture ecosystems using autonomous impulse processes allows optimization problems to be solved to determine the conditions for the spread of external influences. Computational experiments were carried out to determine the parameters of the model corresponding to the sustainable mode of operation in arid pasture ecosystems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
