TL;DR: In this paper, a virtual catchment was designed by running INCA with a known set of parameters, and field "measurements" were selected from the model run output, using these measurements and the shuffled complex evolution metropolis algorithm (SCEM-UA), four of the INCA model parameters describing N transformations in the soil were optimized, while the measurement uncertainty was increased in subsequent steps.

TL;DR: Acceleration-based behavioural classification can be optimized using a variable-time segmentation approach and enables behaviour, including motion, to be set in known spatial contexts, and the measurement of behavioural time-budgets of free-living birds with unprecedented coverage and precision.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relevance of environmental factors that may influence the mineralization rate of non-volatile petroleum hydrocarbons (HCs) in five different oil-contaminated soils with initial HC contents ranging from 0.1 to 13 g kg-1 are estimated as a function of environmental factor.

TL;DR: This work explores data assimilation (DA) with the Ensemble Kalman filter to fuse a two-predator-two-prey model with abundance data from a 2600+ day experiment of a plankton community, and demonstrates that DA enhances the predictability and forecast horizon of complex community dynamics.

TL;DR: A species occurrence dataset published by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO), which contains close to 2.5 million occurrences, recorded by 101 GPS trackers mounted on 75 Lesser Black-backed Gulls and 26 Herring GullS breeding at the Belgian and Dutch coast.
