Laboratory staff Robert Sandlersky and Anna Gorbacheva presented their research results at the Ninth National Scientific Conference with International Participation "Mathematical Modeling in Ecology" (EcoMatMod-2025), which was held from April 2 to 5, 2025 at the Institute of Physicochemical and Biological Problems of Soil Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Pushchino. The conference has been held regularly since 2009 and traditionally brings together a wide range of researchers whose work is devoted to mathematical modeling in various fields of biology and ecology

The key areas of the conference this year were modeling the processes of growth and development of living organisms, the dynamics of populations and communities; modeling of ecological complexity, statistical and spatial modeling; modeling of element cycles and matter flows in ecosystems, including at the regional and global levels; mathematical models in soil science and landscape science; mathematical models as a tool for supporting decision-making in problems of managing biological resources, solving climate change problems and rational nature management.

Robert Sandlersky presented a report on the results of the two-year work of the Laboratory "Assessment of the Representativeness of Natural Conditions of the Russian Federation by Observation Points of the Ecological and Climatic Stations Network" (co-authors: Derkacheva A.A., Kotlov I.P., Zigangirova R.A.). Anna Gorbacheva presented a report "Comparison of Methods for Calculating Net Primary Production to Assess the Potential for Organic Carbon Sequestration by Arable Soils of Selected Regions of Russia" (co-authors: Meshalkina Yu.L., Dobrovolskaya V.A., Romanenkov V.A.). An extended version of this report will be presented at the Laboratory seminar on April 8, 2025.
