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 – Read more…
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).
Nature/agricultural zoning borders has corrected by usage of 100 km gradual stria instead of strict borders. It will improve the LU impact map with combined GLOBIO#3 land use classification (https://biomodel.info/?p=103).
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:

February 21, 2008: Kyiv National Agricultural University Students – Group#2 , 2nd Year, bachelors – during theirs first lecture on IT application and the biodiversity pressure based modelling approaches. The lecture took place at ULRMC (Kyiv). It was official part of the educational sublect ‘Landscape Ecology’ in 2007/2008 educational year. Read more…
BioModel proposed and updated the first comparison flash-movie ‘MSA and LCCD’ (800×600 pixels) for the educational purposes. More details. Author: G.Kolomytsev (ULRMC).

BioModel team produced a draft poster as useful part of the training package on pressure based biodiversity modelling. Final versoin of the leaflet and poster will be available here.
