Institute of Mathematical Problems of Biology, Russian Academy of Sciences

Description

The Institute of Mathematical Problems of Biology of RAS (IMPB RAS) was founded in 1972. The main areas of investigations are mathematical modeling of biological objects and phenomena, development and application of mathematical methods in biological research, bioinformatics. Laboratory of Computational Ecology conducts research work in field of biodiversity in the following topics: • Databases in geobotany and forest ecology • Database on plants of European Russia • Integrated software systems for vegetation assessment and analysis • Assessment and prognosis of biodiversity • Statistical modeling of phytocoenosis Population-demographic models • Functional groups of plants for European Russian forests • Modeling of forest ground vegetation diversity • Decision Support Systems for Forest Management Now in the laboratory the following databases are developed and active supported: Flora of vascular plants of European Russia (information on ca. 2600 species). • Online database on finds of rare lichen species Lobaria pulmonaria in Russia (about 500 records). • Database on geobotanical relevés • Database on biomass of plant species in ground vegetation
