ARE TRAIT-GROWTH MODELS TRANSFERABLE? PREDICTING MULTI-SPECIES GROWTH TRAJECTORIES BETWEEN ECOSYSTEMS USING PLANT FUNCTIONAL TRAITS.

Are trait-growth models transferable? Predicting multi-species growth trajectories between ecosystems using plant functional traits.

Plant functional traits are increasingly used to generalize across species, however few examples exist of predictions from trait-based models being evaluated in new species ilootpaperie or new places.Can we use functional traits to predict growth of unknown species in different areas? We used three independently collected datasets, each containing

Pest Risk Analysis on Xylella fastidiosa in Morocco

Morocco is basically an agricultural country; almost 40% of the workforce is employed in this sector.Xylella read more fastidiosa is a xylem-inhabiting pathogen which can infect more than 300 plant species, although most host species are symptomless.Until relatively recently, X.fastidiosa was primarily limited to North and South America, but in 201

Barchan swarm dynamics from a Two-Flank Agent-Based Model

In this work, we simulate barchan swarms using the Two-Flank Agent-Based Model and investigate how changes to model parameters and environmental drivers lead to different swarm dynamics.In particular, we explore how the parameter qshift, which controls the rate of equilibration between the flanks of an asymmetric dune and thereby the stability of t
