PRECIPITATION AND TEMPERATURE REGULATE SPECIES DIVERSITY, PLANT COVERAGE AND ABOVEGROUND BIOMASS THROUGH OPPOSING MECHANISMS IN LARGE-SCALE GRASSLANDS

IntroductionAlthough the relationships between species diversity and aboveground biomass (AGB) are highly debated in grassland ecosystems, it is not well understood how climatic factors influence AGB directly and indirectly via plant coverage and species diversity in large-scale grasslands along a topographic gradient.In doing so, we hypothesized t

The Agria potato tubers were grown in 2005 in cultivation regimes involving Power Wire different irrigation and fertilisation levels and forms.The impact induced tuber damage was simulated dynamically by an impact pendulum test and studied with the aim to detect some relationship between the cultivation regimes and the type and extent of the damage

Abstract The conclusions of EFSA following the peer review of the initial risk assessment carried out by the competent authority of the rapporteur Member State Belgium, for the Fenty Hair Sample pesticide active substance flutianil, are reported.The context of the peer review was that requested by the European Commission following the submission an

Integrating dynamic systems modeling and machine learning generates an exploratory nonlinear solution for analyzing dynamical systems-based data.Applying dynamical systems theory to the machine learning solution further provides a pathway to interpret the results.Using random forest models as Freezer Basket Handle an illustrative example, these mod

For the sudden upstream water interruption in the canal of an emergency, the existing research method guiding gate control is mainly feed-forward compensation algorithm, under which algorithm the interruption of water diversions is the upstream first and then the downstream.In order to achieve a more flexible water demand for different water divers
