Open Source Java Ecosystem Sciences Software for Linux

Niche Analyst (NicheA) was developed based on the BAM framework which allows users to create virtual spaces and virtual species, and to analyze ecological niches in both multivariate environmental and geographic spaces, linking views of the niche in the two spaces. The unique functionality in NicheA, not available in other software programs, is estimating Grinnellian niches of species based on environmental variables and occurrence records, but with a clear focus on fundamental ecological niches. NicheA can display ecological niches; calculate their shape, density, location, and other attributes; and quantify similarity among multiple niches.

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.

KalypsoBASE is a Desktop-GIS built on Eclipse. It's focus lies on modelling gis data using GML Application-Schemata. Features contain generic dialogs based on GML, maps based on OGC's SLD, and other tools like a charting framework or API for timeseries

The OBO-Annotator is a semantic NLP tool that is designed to give its end-users a great deal of flexibility to combine any number of OBO ontologies from the OBO foundry regardless of their format and use them to annotate text-bases.

Obs-dm aims to provide a robust and reliable way to collect, analyze, and share observational data. It is being designed for extendability into other areas such as fisheries and habitat science.

OpenAMIS (Open AgroMeteorological Information System) is customable free and open software for websites providing agrometeorological information to farmers and agroindustry.

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.

Software made available by the Residual Analysis blog, primarily having to do with anthropogenic global warming, e.g. GHCN Processor.

UIBM (= Universal Individual-Based Model) is an agent-based simulation/3d-dvisualization of the dynamics within multispecies plant communities of Northwest Europe, parameterized from databases using universal scaling laws.

The VIP Toolbox is a set of libraries and tools to enable researchers to process image data from the VEGETATION and other remote sensing sensors.

A Java system to decode the WMO BUFR format for weather data and translate it to XML.

We produced a software for scientists and managers working with marinas, and small harbor. Our software is able to predict the distribution of portuality and vulnerability risk.

mesoFON is an individual-based mangrove forest model. It is a Java implementation of the KiWi model done with RePast Simphony. It contains several new features: (1) You can add up to 10 species via the GUI. However, in principle, the number of species to be included programmatically is unlimited. (2) You can use a variety of growth functions via typing them in as a string on the GUI. (3) The model is transparent, sinc it comes with the Eclipse workbench of RePast.

Starting from GIMMS values as ascii data (each line will be treated as individual time series), the application can smooth the ts - values by applying different algorithm that are based on Fouriertransformation. Separation of seasonal figure as well as the detection of linear trends is possible. Possible breaks in longterm mean can be detected with a change-point analysis using CuSum algorithms. Phenological events such as start-of-season, day-of-max/day-of-min, end-of-season can be determined via threshold-based algorithms or via analysis of max. increase of NDVI during green-up. These analyses work also for multimodal phenologies where individual seasons (partly) interfere each other. User can navigate through all steps of analysis via GUI or can define complex workflows that will be processed in batch-mode.
