Physiological ecologists who design computer models to predict how animals handle heat are forecasting the effects of climate change.
Understanding forest succession is required when designing management strategies, analyzing forest functioning, and forecasting the effects of changes in disturbance regime of forests.
We detail the development and application of a simulation model to aid decision making concerning the procedures followed in the Office of Film and Literature Classification, by forecasting the effects of possible management initiatives.
Forecasting the effects of global changes on high altitude ecosystems requires an understanding of the long-term relationships between biota and forcing factors to identify resilience thresholds.
Forecasting the effects of climate change on nitrogen (N) cycling in pastures requires an understanding of changes in tissue N. We examined the effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration, atmospheric warming and simulated grazing (clipping frequency) on aboveground and belowground tissue N concentrations and C : N ratios of a C3 pasture grass.
Therefore, the model analyzed here is not appropriate for forecasting the effects of management decisions on one particular cod stock, but instead is meant to demonstrate expected trends and patterns for stocks and species with life histories similar to those investigated in this study.
The best way to forecast the effect of the recession on donations, Ms. Kaplan said, is to look at past trends.
The model resembles those used by government offices to forecast the effect of changes to the tax code, and it relies on about 150,000 anonymous tax returns and a wealth of data on pensions, education, consumer expenditures and economic growth.
It is hard to forecast the effect of global trends on U.S. auto parts manufacturers, hence the difficulty of pricing their stock.
In an experiment, a sandbox model was built using noncohesive sandy soil to simulate the existence of a growth fault in the Shanchiao Fault and forecast the effect of the growth fault on shear-band development and ground differential deformation.
