The Ecological Metadata Language (EML) project is an open source, community oriented project dedicated to providing a high-quality metadata specification for describing scientific data relevant to the ... [More] ecological discipline. These data often consist of observational data on the distribution and abundance of organisms, the processes that control these systems, and the biotic and abiotic environment in which the organisms are embedded. The project is completely comprised of voluntary project members who donate their time and experience in order to advance information management for ecology. [Less]

Daisy is a mechanistic simulation model of the physical and biological processes in an agricultural field. It traces the fate of water, energy, carbon, nitrogen, and pesticides, both above and below ... [More] ground. The model is able to predict production, environmental impact in the form of leaching, and change in soil (carbon) quality over time. Another common use is as an upper boundary for a groundwater model. [Less]

Kaaete is a role playing game that intent to teach, in a fun way, the importance of forest preservation.

Programs that are bundled into the workflow include profile ... [More] alignment using either Infernal or STAP, chimera checking with Mallard, OTU clustering and determination with OTUHunter, taxonomy assignment with STAP and then a variety of file formatting options to automatically generate results files using Unifrac, Cytoscape, Dendroscope, heat map visualization. Diversity statistics such as Chao1, Shannon, Rarefaction and rank-abundance are also automatically generated.
