OLM 5.1. Estimation of the multivariate response function
 

In principle, the multivariate response function provide all the information necessary for the prediction of geographic distribution when the state of all the relevant environmental variables, including the regulating ones, are known. In practice, determination of this function is difficult even in the simplest cases. We shall introduce an exceptionally complex model-based experimental study of a duckweed species (Lemna minor) to illustrate how the multivariate response function can be described even in those cases when it is impossible to eliminate some density effects.
