This study provides novel allometric equations essential for assessing aboveground biomass of shrubs in central Chile and similar Mediterranean shrublands. 411 specimens at two representative sites were measured, harvested, and weighed to quantify aboveground biomass in 14 shrub species. …

This work by our colleagues Marie-Christin Wimmler and Uta Berger explores how root-grafted trees form networks. They present a novel, mechanistic, agent-based model, called pyNET, that was built with the modular modeling platform pyMANGA. The model simulates root graft networks and allows the …

Zur Langen Nacht der Wissenschaften am 14. Juni geben wir unseren Besuchern mit interaktiven Aktivitäten einen Einblick in unsere Forschung am Lehrstuhl für Forstliche Biometrie und Systemanalyse der TUD.

Reusable building blocks (RBB) describe individual mechanisms or processes, distinguishing them from modules that represent entire subsystems. They are effective in software development but are underrepresented in agent-based modelling. Our colleagues Uta Berger and Marie-Christin Wimmler now …

Many simulation models are developed from scratch, but usually refer to already established principles for the description of specific processes that are important for the system under study and integrated in the model at hand. Marie-Christin Wimmler and colleagues now developed a platform with …
