A reference business process for ecological niche modelling
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008)
Ecological niche modelling combines species occurrence points with environmental raster layers in order to obtain models for describing the probabilistic distribution of species. The process to generate an ecological niche ...
Optimization of an irreversible Otto and Diesel cycles based on ecological function
(2018-01-01)
In this work, a mathematical model is presented for the irreversible Otto and Diesel cycles using finite time thermodynamics. The cycle is analyzed between two reservoirs with infinite thermal capacitances, where the ...
Rewilding ecological communities and rewiring ecological networks
(2017-10-01)
Rewilding encompasses management actions such as reintroductions and translocations with the purpose of restoring ecological processes and ecosystem functions that were lost when species were locally extirpated. The success ...
Ecological efficiency in glycerol combustion
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-02-05)
Growth in biodiesel production has led to a large surplus of glycerol. So the fundamental question arises: What can be done with glycerol? This is one of the main reasons current research is aimed at developing technologies ...
Three levels of integrating ecology with the conservation of South American temperate forests: The initiative of the Institute of Ecological Research Chiloe, Chile
(2000)
The diversity of native species assemblages and that of indigenous cultures that once characterized the temperate forests of southern Chile have experienced a process of homogenization ever since the Spanish conquest. Today ...
A Review of Ecological Restoration Research in the Global South and North to Promote Knowledge Dialogue
(Wolters Kluwer Medknow, 2020-03)
To determine global trends in ecological restoration (ER) research, we conducted a geographically-explicit English-language literature review. We assessed a representative sample (n=603) of publications that use the ER ...
Reconstructing past ecological networks: the reconfiguration of seed-dispersal interactions after megafaunal extinction
(Springer, 2014-08-01)
The late Quaternary megafaunal extinction impacted ecological communities worldwide, and affected key ecological processes such as seed dispersal. The traits of several species of large-seeded plants are thought to have ...
