Comparing statistical methodologies for assessing yield variation across harvests in agricultural grasslands

ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability. In agriculture, grasslands can play an important role in producing feed for animals and maintaining soil health in crop rotations. In recent years, mixing plant species with complementary traits have been proposed as a strategy to reduce the quantity of synthetic … Read more

A comparison of analytical methods for assessing the relationship between species diversity and ecosystem outputs.

ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the online MSc in Statistics and Data Science. Biodiversity and ecosystem function studies investigate the relationship between species diversity and the outputs of an ecosystem. This project will compare two different analytical methods for analysing this relationship, one an ANOVA type analysis that categorises species diversity levels … Read more
