MSA-by-oblasts chart is compiled
Mean species abundance chart by Oblasts of Ukraine Highest MSA value – 61,95% in Zakarpatska obl. Lowest – 22,85% in Donetska obl.
Mean species abundance chart by Oblasts of Ukraine Highest MSA value – 61,95% in Zakarpatska obl. Lowest – 22,85% in Donetska obl.
Final Mean Species Abundance map of the remaining biodiversity in Ukraine (2000): Mean MSA value – 32.4% (0,324407296).Revised methodology was applied (by GIS modular with combined LU classes application; https://biomodel.info/?p=103). Final map image looks very similar to Landuse MSA. Obviously landuse is the dominant pressure causing the biodiversity loss process.
LU MSA map (new version) During the ‘GIS modular’ manual compilation new LU MSA (biodiversity loss from land use; picture above) was calculated. More details available because of a new approach: https://biomodel.info/?p=103 . You can compare the new LU MSA with LU MSA from previous run (picture below). LU MSA Read more…
Different GLOBIO3 land use classes combination was applied taking into account location of agrolandscapes in different ‘nature-ag-zone’. For instance agrolandscapes within ‘Polissya’ nature-ag-zone include several LCC i.e. ‘extensive agriculture’ and ‘agro-forestry’ in equal part approximately. Logically, for the ‘Steppe zone’ it is advisable to take into account (for the modelling) Read more…
BioModel team has started with EcoProfile 2.1. updating and usage to be based on MNP’s temporary restricted web service <…………….>. The adaptation will be related to new list of KQs and parameters important for the model.
