La diversitat entre organismes, clau per a l'estabilitat dels ecosistemes davant l'ús intensiu del sòl

27/01/25

Un estudi on participa el Centre d'Investigacions sobre Desertificació (UV-CSIC-GVA) troba que les característiques funcionals de les plantes tenen un paper crucial en la forma en què els ecosistemes responen a canvis en l'ús del sòl. El treball, que publica ‘Science Advances’, ofereix noves eines...

AgrotecUV, the high technology agri-food incubator from the Universitat de València, has selected a total of eight business proposals on their third call destined to the incubation of start-ups and enterprising projects on sustainable agroalimentary. The favoured companies will receive an economic...

Patterns of coexistence in well-sampled communities help to understand, thanks to AI, the coexistence of plants in ecologically close or distant communities. A. Montesinos, J. A. Navarro and A. Valiente-Banuet

Artificial Intelligence used to predict plant interactions in understudied ecosystems

25/10/24

A research project led by the Desertification Research Centre (CIDE, UV-CSIC-GVA) has successfully predicted the ecological interactions that occur in little-analysed plant communities based on coexistence patterns from a well-studied ecosystem in Alicante. The study employed transfer learning, a...
