Selected presentations

  • Travels in C-S-R space: adventures with cellular automata
    A 2004  seminar at Exeter, describing the C-S-R system of plant functional types and its uses in modelling self-assembling 'virtual plants'. 

  • Many singers, one song: association between plant strategies and ecological indicators
    A 2005 poster from the Vienna IBC showing congruences between the C-S-R system and several plant axes and Central-European 'indicator values'.

  • The selfish module: the emergence of compexity in plant form and function
    A 2005 poster from the Vienna IBC showing how modular plant rulebases can inform individual, population and community processes without having any identifiable centre of organization.

  • Self-assembling plants and integration across ecological scales
    A 2005 presentation from the ESA Montreal meeting emphasizing the higher level properties of the self-assembling model, e.g. biodiversity and stability.

  • Standardization of references and authorship
    A 2006 presentation to the Nordic Biological Librarians Group, meeting in Copengagen.
