Multi-scale species richness estimation with deep learning Open

Victor Boussange, Bert Wuyts, Philipp Brun, Johanna Malle, Gabriele Midolo , et al. · 2025

Biodiversity assessments are critically affected by the spatial scale at which species richness is measured. How species richness accumulates with sampling area depends on natural and anthropogenic processes whose effects can change depend…

On the predictability of possible storylines for forced complex systems Open

Johannes Lohmann, Bert Wuyts, Peter Ditlevsen, Peter Ashwin · 2024

It is well-known that even for fairly simple deterministic nonlinear systems, exact prediction of future state is, on average, impossible beyond some small multiple of the Lyapunov time that quantifies the rate of separation of trajectorie…

Emergent structure and dynamics of tropical forest-grassland landscapes Open

Bert Wuyts, Jan Sieber · 2023

Previous work indicates that tropical forest can exist as an alternative stable state to savanna. Therefore, perturbation by climate change or human impact may lead to crossing of a tipping point beyond which there is rapid forest dieback …

Emergent structure, dynamics and abrupt transitions in a cellular automaton of tropical forest and fire Open

Bert Wuyts, Jan Sieber · 2023

It is thought that tropical forests can exist as an alternative stable state to savanna. Therefore, perturbation by climate change or human impact may lead to crossing of a tipping point beyond which there is rapid large-scale forest dieba…

Emergent structure and dynamics of tropical forest-grassland landscapes Open

Bert Wuyts, Jan Sieber · 2022

Previous work indicates that tropical forest can exist as an alternative stable state to savanna. Therefore, perturbation by climate change or human impact may lead to crossing of a tipping point beyond which there is rapid forest dieback …

Generalised moment closure for discrete-state dynamics on networks. Open

Bert Wuyts, Jan Sieber · 2021

In this paper, we present a general method to obtain and truncate moment equations, applicable to any model of dynamics on networks with at most interactions between nearest neighbours and for arbitrary approximation order. We first obtain…

Mean-field models of dynamics on networks via moment closure: an automated procedure Open

Bert Wuyts, Jan Sieber · 2021

In the study of dynamics on networks, moment closure is a commonly used method to obtain low-dimensional evolution equations amenable to analysis. The variables in the evolution equations are mean counts of subgraph states and are referred…

Tropical tree cover in a heterogeneous environment: A reaction-diffusion model Open

Bert Wuyts, Alan Champneys, Nicolás Verschueren, Joanna I. House · 2019

Observed bimodal tree cover distributions at particular environmental conditions and theoretical models indicate that some areas in the tropics can be in either of the alternative stable vegetation states forest or savanna. However, when i…

Correction: Author Correction: Amazonian forest-savanna bistability and human impact Open
