Hi Raffaello,


Karlines book is surely the best intro about this:

Soetaert, Karline and Herman, Peter M.J.  (2009) A Practical Guide to
Ecological Modelling Using R as a Simulation Platform. Springer, 372 p.
http://www.springer.com/life+sciences/ecology/book/978-1-4020-8623-6


... and there are also many free examples and docs (so called vignettes
!) online:

- in packages deSolve and ReacTran
- in package ecolMod (the package for the book),
- in our JSS article http://www.jstatsoft.org/v33/i09
