BirdHab and SWAT agronomy model

BirdHab model: bird habitat suitability model applied to input data from the Lossa River Basin in Central Germany combined with a willingness to pay function for biodiversity.

SWAT agronomy model: Calculates contribution margins for crops grown in the Lossa River Basin based on SWAT model output data.

Both models have been coupled with the CoMOLA optimization tool (Strauch et al., 2019) in Kaim (in press).
