Open Source Ecosystem Sciences Software

An easy to use application to design your kitchen garden or your house farm. Helps you plan your plants ( vegetables, fruit trees, herbs, flowers ) so that it respects the rules of crop rotation and companion planting. Based on square foot gardening. Requires Java 8.

Software for sustainability assessment, highly modular; initially focused on Life Cycle Assessments.

Biosphere3D targets interactive landscape rendering based on a virtual globe. It supports DEM, satellite and aerial images, 3D models (Collada), 3D plant models, and Shapefiles. Biosphere3D was initially developed by the landscape visualization group of the Zuse Institute Berlin by Malte Clasen and is now developed further by Lenné3D GmbH. For more information about the used concepts have a look at the thesis of Malte Clasen: Towards Interactive Landscape Visualization Doctoral Thesis published 2011 via Technische Universität Berlin https://doi.org/10.14279/depositonce-3005

This software enable cannabis grower to manage and retrieve statistics about culture, tools included have the goal to help growing indoor cannabis.

A library of R packages for use in fisheries modelling, including the evaluation of management strategies and stock assessment.

Cultivation is a game about the interactions within a gardening community. The resources needed for genetic propagation are tight, and relations can become tense. Cultivation explores self-interest, the common good, conflict, and compromise.

The Life Cycle Assessment Spreadsheet allows you to calculate carbon footprints and other environmental impacts for given product systems. Use requires basic skills in LCA and matrix algebra, but rewards effort with professional analytical tools.

MCC-LIDAR is a C++ application for processing LiDAR data in forested environments. It classifies data points as ground or non-ground using the Multiscale Curvature Classification algorithm.

JaWator is a Wa-Tor JavaApplet; a predator-prey simulation resembling a natural ecosystem, this Cellular Automaton delivers fluctuations similar to the Lotka-Volterra equation. Inspired by A.K. Dewdney, Wa-Tor ecosystem (Scientific American, 1984)

PredatorPreySimulation is a graphical Java application for simulating a predator prey ecosystem using the Volterra-Lotka equations.

BioMa is a specimen based Biodiversity database Manager. It is designed to store, organize, and manipulate biodiversity-related scientific data, either for the purposes of museums, scientific collections, or research projects.

Program performs bird species recognition by their voices. In early stage of development but working well with some popular species and good samples quality.

birdweights is a a package of scripts to analyze data from an automated system for the measurement of mass and identification of birds at perches.

CRAFTY is a large-scale ABM of land use change. It has been designed to allow efficient but powerful simulation of a wide range of land uses and the goods and services they produce. It is fully open-source and can be used without the need for any programming.

This project implements calculations for the Climate Equity Reference Project's Calculator (CERc).

An online database and cross-platform, game-like client where gardeners/farmers (small or large scale) can log their actions and measurements (such as weather, yield, current plant size). Any user can then play it back visually, or play with the data and see a simulation inferred from the knowledge database, or calculate an optimal design within given constraints, inferred from the knowledge available at that time. This is both a tool for playing, in order to entertain and inspire people, as well as a serious feedback and design tool. There will be a user feedback system to value the accuracy of the data. It is allowed to enter and share mock farming data, as long as it's tagged as being fantasy, to exclude it from the analyses. Things like dietary information, tiredness and bio-constructions will be included as well, to improve optimizations of a garden design with (partial) self-sufficiency in mind. The UI will resemble a garden, and can switch to simplified views.

DIET Agents is a lightweight, scalable and robust multi-agent platform in Java. It is especially suitable for rapidly developing P2P prototype applications and/or adaptive, distributed applications that use bottom-up, nature-inspired techniques.

We have moved, the project is now at http://distancesampling.org

EcoMod is an OpenGL application for 3D modelling, simulation and visualization of ecosystems. Trees are modelled and used within simulation to render the emerging natural phenomena of spontaneous afforestation process. Multidisciplinary.

Electronics schematics, PCB images, firmware and documentation to create and deploy a network of ecology related sensors.

EDAS2 is a web-based environmental quality data management and decision support framework

The Evolutionary Environment (EvENet) provides a P2P Network for guiding the evolution of Software Services and Service Compositions over time. This evolution is based on knowledge sharing and optimised using GA and Agent Systems. It is part of the DBE.

The Evolutionary Environment Simulator (EvESimulator) is an agent-based economy simulation framework which provides a broader view on evolutionary aspects within a Digital Business Ecosystem.

Extended Bioaccumulation Framework (ExBAF) is a tool for assessing bioaccumulation in foodwebs. Supports several bioaccumulation models and provides tools for analysis and visualization.

FishLAB is an easy-to-use program for tracking aquarium water chemistry. With FishLab you can monitor pH, hardness, NH4, NO2, NO3, Fe, CO2 (the software converts units where needed). The graph function warns you of bad trends in water quality.
