Principles of Systems
TL;DR: The feedback mechanism involved in all principles for artificial learning refers back to the notion of the control-circuit, which serves as a basis for the analysis and the design of feedback-control systems.

TL;DR: This paper provides an overview of the eight main global and regional scale agricultural monitoring systems currently in operation and compares them based on the input data and models used, the outputs produced and other characteristics such as the role of the analyst, their interaction with other systems and the geographical scale at which they operate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introducing digital twins to agriculture
TL;DR: The extent of digital twin adoption in agriculture is examined, light is shed on the concept and the benefits it brings, and an application-based roadmap for a more extended adoption is proposed.

Agricultural Intensification and Ecosystem Properties
TL;DR: The use of ecologically based management strategies can increase the sustainability of agricultural production while reducing off-site consequences and have serious local, regional, and global environmental consequences.

TL;DR: The paper outlines APSIM's structure and provides details of the concepts behind the different plant, soil and management modules, including a diverse range of crops, pastures and trees, soil processes including water balance, N and P transformations, soil pH, erosion and a full range of management controls.

Biological Feedbacks in Global Desertification
William H. Schlesinger,James F. Reynolds,Gary L. Cunningham,Laura Foster Huenneke,Wesley M. Jarrell,Ross A. Virginia,Walter G. Whitford +6 more
TL;DR: Studies of ecosystem processes on the Jornada Experimental Range in southern New Mexico suggest that longterm grazing of semiarid grasslands leads to an increase in the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of water, nitrogen, and other soil resources, which leads to the desertification of formerly productive land.

TL;DR: In 2013, an estimated 385 million children lived on less than US$1.90 per day and 63 percent of countries have no data on child poverty at all as mentioned in this paper. But these figures are unreliable due to huge gaps in data on the status of children worldwide.
