A modified Lotka-Volterra simulation model to study the interaction between arrow bamboo (Sinarundinaria fangiana) and giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)

A binary ecosystem of bamboo and panda with human intervention is studied by means of a modified Lotka-Volterra model. Through simulation runs, intrinsic properties, such as the resilient nature of the system and the vital role of supplementary food on the stability of this dynamic system, are examined. Estimation of parameters used in the model is explained. The analysis procedure used in this study can be extended to investigate other binary systems with human intervention.
