Modeling Institutions in Socio-Ecosystems [PDF]
Proceedings of the Thirtieth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2021 In socio-ecosystems, human activities are structured in time and space by interactions between different regulatory systems with different collective goals. These regulatory systems are modeled by institutions and organizations, and the regulatory mechanisms by norms applied to agents in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS).

The empirical modeling of an ecosystem [PDF]
Ecological Modelling, 1978 Abstract The authors have endeavored to create a verified a-posteriori model of a planktonic ecosystem. Verification of an empirically derived set of first-order, quadratic differential equations proved elusive due to the sensitivity of the model system to changes in initial conditions. Efforts to verify a similarly derived set of linear differential

Remote Sensing, 2023 The moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) calculates the leaf area index (LAI) for each pixel without incorporating the temporal correlation information, leading to a higher sensitivity for the LAI that produces uncertainties in observed ...

Responses of soil microbial communities and enzyme activities to nitrogen and phosphorus additions in Chinese fir plantations of subtropical China [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) additions to forest ecosystems are known to influence various above-ground properties, such as plant productivity and composition, and below-ground properties, such as soil nutrient cycling.

Environmental Modelling & Software, 2004 The Library of Hydro-Ecological Modules (LHEM, http://giee.uvm.edu/LHEM) was designed to create flexible landscape model structures that can be easily modified and extended to suit the requirements of a variety of goals and case studies. The LHEM includes modules that simulate hydrologic processes, nutrient cycling, vegetation growth, decomposition ...

Modelling an ecosystem: The example of agro-ecosystems
Ecological Modelling, 2011 Abstract Methods to predict ecosystem responses to changing environmental conditions, including options for mitigation and management, are vital for scientists and policy makers. We propose that modelling ecosystems by grouping species into trophic-functional types has great utility, because it is potentially generic and applicable to any ecosystem ...

Depth diversity gradients of macrophytes: Shape, drivers, and recent shifts
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Investigating diversity gradients helps to understand biodiversity drivers and threats. However, one diversity gradient is rarely assessed, namely how plant species distribute along the depth gradient of lakes.
