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.

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

The PAMGUARD project develops software to help detect, locate and classify marine mammals using Passive Acoustic Monitoring. This project is being migrated to github at https://github.com/PAMGuard. Please go there for the latest updates. thank you sourceforge for hosting us for all these years.

Black Spot is a free stand alone software and method to estimate leaf area from images of leaves captured using standard flatbed scanners. This easy to use software allows the user to batch process a large number of samples from multiple species with minimal user input.

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.

iTag has been designed for researchers that rely on photographic census techniques of animals that are hard to detect via image recognition algorithms and was originally developed for counting Grey Seals in the German wadden sea during March 2013. It has since then been further expanded and has now reached beta status. iTag allows Users to define up to 9 different categories and name them accordingly. In addition, 4 modifiers are available to further increase the options during a tagging session. Users are able to load a series of Images into a session and add tags on objects on these images within previously defined categories and modifiers. Upon ending the session, result files are produced including (if provided by the EXIF data) the gps information for each Picture, the number of objects in each category and a detailed result file that describes each individual object. In addition, all images that were tagged are saved.

The Illinois Farm Sustainability Calculator (IFSC) is Excel workbook designed to evaluate the sustainability of any real or envisioned farm in the state of Illinois.

The Forestry Commission and Natural England commissioned a bespoke data collection and presentation tool for calculating the potential for increasing the extent of tree cover across the north west of England. The data was divided into sub-regions by landscape type using Natural England's Character Area classifications. The potential within each of these Character Areas was then estimated by working groups of local experts who were capable of making reasoned assessments of both the opportunities and constraints to woodland creation. Subsequently, this project was considerably extended and adopted as a national system. It is currently being used to compile the National Woodland Potential dataset for the whole of England.

This software uses data gathered from published biodiversity inventories, together with physical and vegetational maps, to build a biodiversity map (darkening geographical landscape according with the richness/diversity of species).

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

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

LAMBDA is a MatLab toolkit that performs multivariate autoregressive first-order data analysis. LAMBDA estimates community interactions using matrix algebra. The target audience is scientists with long-term ecological data.

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.

The main objective of the ONE project is to enrich Digital Ecosystems with an decentralised negotiation environment and enabling tools that will allow organisations to create contract agreements for supplying integrated services as a virtual organisation

PQ Calculator was developed as an easy-to-use and small application that acts as a gene and genotype frequency calculator according to Hardy Weinberg Law fro Ecology. All you have to do is input all the required variables and press the Calculate button, the software will do the rest.

PhaenUhr is an easy to use graphical Java application to visualize the impact of climate change on seasonal biological phenomena as two nested phenological clocks. You can configure the clocks in many ways and export them to standard graphic formats.

An R package for visualising global scale data by easy import & display of country level & gridded data. Rworldmap will also provide access to existing datasets from earth to social sciences and facilitate their combination to provide insights for policy

Community Currencies are monetary systems for and by the community. RGB, or Colourcash, provides an alternative for LETS, Time-Based and other community currencies or dollar/euro users, with the following differences: * The RGB Unit is bound to a real-life definition. * The 3D-system allows for support of recycling-based production. Similar to C2C, cradle-to-cradle. * The Yearly Reset shows that this is not about accumulating wealth, but about accumulating happyness and community.
