8. By photosynthesis, plants can take up carbon and incorporate it into their biomass. Let the biomass of plants be denoted by P and the biomass of herbivores by H. The herbivores are feeding on these plants. The following model equations are given Р 0 - aP - PH, н ebPH - CH. (a) Please give a biological interpretation of these equations. (b) Where are the stationary states of that system, and are they stable or not? (c) What is the effect of increasing primary production o? (d) Please sketch the possible phase planes for the system. 2
