An integrated, executable mathematical modelling language for environmental and ecological applications has been developed to create and run Dynamic Models in a GIS. The modelling language is embedded in the GIS, providing the ability to model complex space‐time systems free from the technical burdens of database management and algorithm optimization. The spatial modelling language uses a structured script, which is illustrated here by an example of a model of plant dispersion.
