Biodiversity modeling advances will improve predictions of …
Apr 1, 2024 · Here, we describe the current state of NCP prediction and its challenges, highlight potential benefits of biodiversity modeling advances, and end with how these improved predictions can help to meet goals of international frameworks for biodiversity conservation.
A guide to ecosystem models and their environmental applications - Nature
Sep 14, 2020 · This Review describes the main types of ecosystem model, how to select an appropriate model for a given application, and how to manage complexity and uncertainty.
Protecting Biodiversity (in All Its Complexity): New Models and …
Dec 1, 2020 · Biodiversity models are essential tools to rapidly overcome these shortfalls. We consider biodiversity models to be any model that makes predictions for biodiversity (including species occurrences or abundances, traits, phylogenetic placements, and species interactions).
We provide an overview of the main types of ecosystem models and their uses, and discuss challenges related to model-ling complex ecological systems.
Biodiversity modeling advances will improve predictions of …
Nov 13, 2023 · Here, we describe the current state of NCP prediction and its challenges, highlight potential benefits of biodiversity modeling advances, and end with how these improved predictions can help to meet goals of international frameworks for biodiversity conservation.
Modelling impacts of drivers on biodiversity and ecosystems
Models of biodiversity and ecosystem function are critical to our capability to predict and understand responses to environmental change. There is a variety of modelling approaches which address different biological levels that are of relevance to IPBES: Populations are …
Process-explicit models reveal the structure and dynamics of
Aug 5, 2022 · Here, we show how these advances in biodiversity modeling are revealing the generalizable mechanisms responsible for the distributions, abundances, and diversity of life on Earth and how they are strengthening basic and applied science, resulting in improved guidelines for the management of nature.
A Conceptual Framework to Integrate Biodiversity, Ecosystem …
Sep 1, 2022 · We review models used in recent global model intercomparison projects and develop a novel model integration framework to more fully account for the role of biodiversity in ecosystem function, a key gap for linking biodiversity changes to ecosystem services.
Creating simple predictive models in ecology, conservation and ...
2 days ago · Predictive models are often complex to produce and interpret, yet can offer valuable insights for management, conservation and policy-making. Here we introduce a new modelling tool (the R package ‘BBNet’), which is simple to use, and requires little mathematical or computer programming background. By using straightforward concepts to describe interactions between model components ...
Predicting ecosystem pattern across landscapes - Basquill - 2023 ...
Aug 11, 2023 · We propose ecosystem spatial pattern models to help address this gap. Under our framework, ecosystem patterns can be modelled by resolving aggregate ecosystem properties, emerging from joint spatial variations among biotic and abiotic constituents.
