How far is the natural/agricultural production resilient?
In the framework of Science Direct, SoftwareX is the ELSEVIER publication that aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today's research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. Five scientists present ResiPy, an object-oriented open source software, licensed under the EUPL-1.2, to compute the annual production of agricultural/natural products and its resilience indicator. This indicator can be applied to different anthropic and natural systems, e.g., agricultural production, natural vegetation and water resources, to quantify their stabilities and the…
