Environ analysis, an input-output analysis for models of ecological systems,'has been previously formulated for linear systems. This note has a twofold purpose: first, we indicate that a variation of parameters technique can be applied, at least in principle, to compute both input and output environ

This paper discusses the mathematical validity of the class of linear periodically time varying compartment models which are commonly employed for the analysis of ecosystems. Valid mathematical models for such systems must have unique stable periodic solutions to which all other solutions converge.
In this paper we consider a two-compartment model and analyze the underlying nonlinear system of differential equations that arises from studying such models. In particular, we apply a decomposition method to solve the system numerically and then compare the results with other well-known methods suc
