Grassland: A Rapid Algebraic Modeling System for Million-variable Optimization [PDF]
, 2021 An algebraic modeling system (AMS) is a type of mathematical software for optimization problems, which allows users to define symbolic mathematical models in a specific language, instantiate them with given source of data, and solve them with the aid of external solver engines.

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 336-352, January 2023., 2023 Abstract This paper seeks to understand the process by which biodiversity performance indicators can be developed. In doing so, this paper examines how biodiversity performance measurements are inherently imperfect and reflects on the implications of that imperfectness.

The economic value of grassland ecosystem services: A global meta‐analysis
Grassland Research, 2022 Background Grasslands provide a wide variety of ecosystem services that contribute to human wellbeing. While an increasing number of studies are evaluating the monetary value of grassland ecosystem services, most of them focus on specific grassland ...

Grassland Research, 2022 Background Grasslands are globally imperiled, facing continued threats from anthropogenic disturbances. Seeding remains a common grassland restoration method, and yet, is typically met with limited success, partially because soils of degraded systems ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022 Abstract We use the Multiple Element Limitation (MEL) model to examine responses of 12 ecosystems to elevated carbon dioxide (CO2), warming, and 20% decreases or increases in precipitation. Ecosystems respond synergistically to elevated CO2, warming, and decreased precipitation combined because higher water‐use efficiency with elevated CO2 and higher ...

Grassland Research, 2022 Background Grasslands are the primary source of feed for grazing livestock, and as such, knowledge on how to best manage livestock and grasslands, through the use of spatiotemporal modelling, will assist in the long‐term management of a valuable ...

Ancient grasslands guide ambitious goals in grassland restoration
Science, 2022 Grasslands, which constitute almost 40% of the terrestrial biosphere, provide habitat for a great diversity of animals and plants and contribute to the livelihoods of more than 1 billion people worldwide. Whereas the destruction and degradation of grasslands can occur rapidly, recent work indicates that complete recovery of biodiversity and essential ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Large, citizen‐science species databases are powerful resources for predictive species distribution modeling (SDM), yet they are often subject to sampling bias. Many methods have been proposed to correct for this, but there exists little consensus as to which is most effective, not least because the true value of model predictions is hard to ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Arthropod biomass is a key element in ecosystem functionality and a basic food item for many species. It must be estimated through traditional costly field sampling, normally at just a few sampling points. Arthropod biomass and plant productivity should be narrowly related because a large majority of arthropods are herbivorous, and others ...
