چکیده

In summary, LTER systems can provide a standardized infrastructure to collect comparable data to answer the questions of today, and a rigorous scientific basis to address future challenges. We invite scientists to integrate stand-alone studies within innovative LTER approaches to provide future generations with the management tools to move beyond the confines of our current limited biodiversity knowledge.

Knowledge Extraction from the Neural ‘Black Box’ in Ecological Monitoring

Phytoplankton biomass within the Saginaw Bay ecosystem (Lake Huron, Michigan, USA) was characterized as a function of select physical/chemical indicators. The complexity and variability of ecological systems typically make it difficult to model the influences of anthropogenic stressors and/or natural disturbances. Here, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) were developed to model chlorophyll a con...
