Mapping Crop Types and Cropping Systems in Nigeria with Sentinel-2 Imagery by Esther Shupel Ibrahim, Philippe Rufin, Leon Nill, Bahareh Kamali, Claas Nendel, Patrick Hostert

“…However, such maps do not exist for most parts of Africa, where smallholder farming is the dominant system. Prevalent cloud cover, small farm sizes, and mixed cropping systems pose substantial challenges when creating crop type maps for sub-Saharan Africa. …”

Using social network analysis tools in ecology: Markov process transition models applied to the seasonal trophic network dynamics of the Chesapeake Bay by Johnson, J, Luczkovich, J, Borgatti, S, Snijders, T

“…This shift in system complexity corresponds with a shift from a pelagic- to benthic-dominated system over the seasonal cycle, suggesting that winter is a mostly closed system, relying on internal cycling rather than external input. …”

Time delays shape the eco-evolutionary dynamics of cooperation by Sourav Roy, Sayantan Nag Chowdhury, Srilena Kundu, Gourab Kumar Sar, Jeet Banerjee, Biswambhar Rakshit, Prakash Chandra Mali, Matjaž Perc, Dibakar Ghosh

“…Depending on the parameter values and the initial fraction of each strategy, the studied eco-evolutionary model can mimic a cyclic dominance system and even exhibit chaotic behavior, thereby highlighting the importance of complex dynamics for the effective management and conservation of ecological communities. …”

Hydro Power Reservoir Aggregation via Genetic Algorithms by Markus Löschenbrand, Magnus Korpås

“…Therefore, optimal generation scheduling is a key factor to successful operation of hydro power dominated systems. This paper aims to bridge the gap between scheduling on large-scale (e.g., national) and small scale (e.g., a single river basin) levels, by applying a multi-objective master/sub-problem framework supported by genetic algorithms. …”

Micron-Scale Biogeography of Seawater Biofilm Colonies at Submersed Solid Substrata Affected by Organic Matter and Microbiome Transformation in the Baltic Sea by Maciej Grzegorczyk, Stanislaw Pogorzelski, Paulina Janowicz, Katarzyna Boniewicz-Szmyt, Pawel Rochowski

“…The geometric and structural biofilm characteristics: biovolume, coverage fraction, mean thickness, spatial heterogeneity, roughness, aggregation coefficient, etc., turned out to evolve in relation to organic matter transformation trends, trophic water status, microbiome evolution, and biofilm micro-colony transition from the heterotrophic community (mostly bacteria) to autotrophic (diatom-dominated) systems. The biofilm morphology parameters allowed the substratum roughness, surface wettability, chromatic organisms colony adaptation to substrata, and quorum sensing or cell to cell signaling effects to be quantitatively evaluated. …”
