“…Animal species diversity is the most intuitive manifestation of biodiversity on a spatial scale, as it not only represents the richness and change of species in a habitat, but it also reflects the complex relationship between organisms and the environment [8][9][10]. The large-scale spatial distribution pattern of animal species richness is affected by a variety of environmental factors [11][12][13][14], and vegetation phenology characteristics is a critical one among them [15,16]. However, to our knowledge there is few definitive method to quantitatively describe the relationship between vegetation phenology characteristics and animal species richness on a large scale [17].…”

An explicit analysis of the impact for the richness of species of the vegetation phenological characteristics calculated from various remote sensing data is critical and essential for biodiversity conversion and restoration. This study collected long-term the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), the Leaf Area Index (LAI), the Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR), and the Fractional Vegetation Cover (FVC), and calculated the six vegetation phenological characteristic parameters: the mean of the growing season, the mean of the mature season, the mean of the withered season, the annual difference value, the annual cumulative value, and the annual standard deviation in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The relationships between the vegetation phenological characteristics and the species richness of birds and mammals were analyzed in spatial distribution. The main findings include: (1) The correlation between bird diversity and vegetation factors is greater than that of mammals. (2) For remote sensing data, FAPAR is the most important vegetation parameter for both birds and mammals. (3) For vegetation phenological characteristics, the annual cumulative value of the LAI is the most crucial vegetation phenological parameter for influencing bird diversity distribution, and the annual difference value of the NDVI is the most significant driving factor for mammal diversity distribution.

“…For convenience, the approaches are termed in this paper, internal, external and intermediate. Amongst the OOP ecological models that have been reported in the literature, there are modellers who have favoured a convention of nesting the calculations denoting interaction within the objects representing one or more of the participating elements (e.g., Silvert, 1993;Durnota, 1996). Silvert (1993) presents an OOP implementation of a Lotka-Volterra model to demonstrate how this internal approach may be used to feed a plankton object to a fish object.…”

Modelling ecological interaction despite object-oriented modularity

Ecological modellers may be deterred from using object-oriented programming languages by reports of the inherent rigidity of the object-oriented formulation, giving rise to a poor representation of biotic interaction. Internal approaches of imitating relationships between the components of an ecological model bury the associated code inside the object declarations of one or more of these components. External approaches isolate a component's processes thereby maintaining the object's integrity, but at the cost of realism. Highlighted here is a frame-based technique that uses object pointers to reference the active components thereby allowing mimicry of interaction while maintaining individual object integrity.
