Deconstructing Geospatial Agent-Based Model: Sensitivity Analysis of Forest Insect Infestation Model

Consequences of climate change on food-energy-water systems in arid regions without agricultural adaptation, analyzed using FEWCalc and DSSAT

“…The agent-based model (ABM) framework NetLogo was used to construct FEWCalc (Anderson and Dragićević, 2018;Guijun et al, 2017;Hu et al, 2018;Tisue and Wilensky, 2004;Wilensky, 1999). Because dynamic modeling system had its roots in business and expanded to urban and environmental problems (Forrester, 1971;Meadows, 2008;Morecroft, 2015;Sterman, 2000), and use in the food-energy-water nexus has only emerged recently (Al-Saidi and Elagib, 2017;Memarzadeh et al, 2019;Phetheet et al, in review;Schulterbrandt Gragg et al, 2018).…”

Relating agriculture, energy, and water decisions to farm incomes and climate projections using two freeware programs, FEWCalc and DSSAT

“…FEWCalc is an agent-based model (ABM) constructed using NetLogo (Hu et al, 2018;Tisue and Wilensky, 2004;Wilensky, 1999), designed to integrate complex real-world systems and evaluate future policy decisions (Anderson and Dragićević, 2018;Guijun et al, 2017). ABMs have been used in business (Forrester, 1971;Morecroft, 2015), urban problems (Sterman, 2000), and environmental evaluations (Meadows, 2008) and recently for the FEW nexus (Al-Saidi and Elagib, 2017;Memarzadeh et al, 2019;Schulterbrandt Gragg et al, 2018).…”
