Newly the publisher OlbiPlus (Ukraine) presentes monograph ‘Geoinformation Environmental Monitoring of Local Agroecosystems’ (Ridey N., Ghorbatenko A., Strokal V., Shofolov D. and Rybalko V.). Authors of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (NUBiP) proposed various of useful approaches among of which was also a generalized method […]
In corridors:young researches of the Ukraine National University of Bioresources and Life Sciences published new results on MSA index analyze. They found out sufficient linear correlations between MSA and the long-term oscillations of population size of Реrdiх реrdiх L. and Lepus europaeus L. The authors argued that it allows in […]
The experience of first digital generalization of impacts on terrestrial biodiversity of Ukraine using GLOBIO3 techniques G.A. Kolomytsev Published in national scientific journal of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (Ukr) Abstract The proposed integrated-terrestrial-biodiversity-impacts-assessment model has been developed for Ukraine territory using GLOBIO3 method. The […]

There is a supportive data for students of National University of Biological Resources and Life Sciences (Kyiv) – on application of MSA Index for a local model plot purposes, and which is near Bojarka, Kyivska Oblast (Ukraine). See a map example below. Other details TBD.
MSA is in Syllabus of the subject ‘Terrestrial Ecology and Biological Monitoring Method’ – for the National Agricultural University (Kyiv, Ukraine). This semester students of NAU started study of Landscape Ecology subject with new elements i.e. pressure-based biodiversity modelling. For the purpose they use modern NAU-LRMC-MNP publication ‘LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY – […]
There is the Leaflet on BioModelling Experience in Ukraine leaflet.pdf The MSA is an indicator of the remaining mean species abundance of original species, relative to their abundance in primary vegetation. It can be interpreted as a measure of “naturalness” or “intactness”. MSA is calculated based on the following pressures: […]
March 20-25, 2008: the Methodological Council of the Agrosphere Ecology and Ecological Control Department of the National Agricultural University (Kyiv) approved publication of new syllabus ‘Geographic Informational Technologies and Ecological Indications’ for biotechologiests. Several themes of it (##9,10,11 and 12) are about BIODIVERSITY modelling approaches i.e. GLOBIO and MSA specially!
The total MSA map has been re-calculated, and that was based on a new gradual agriculture intensity map. The mean total MSA value is 32.4% (equal to 32.4% from previous model run https://biomodel.info/?p=112).
The comparison by mean value per oblasts of Ukraine: . Moreover, you can compare the LCCD (LCCD_bio) and MSA maps with the same color scheme:
