(Clay content in soil profile)
Research Questions
Resolved
INLA Model Effectiveness
INLA Model Flexibility
Briefly summarise the major findings that come from the research and relate them to what you originally proposed to find out.
Introduction of an effective method
for modelling agricultural data
Grasslands data only
Successful implementation of
INLA for an agricultural dataset
Move the results description stuff here (any reference to the literature):
- astrebla: aligns with historical observations
- rainfall
- clay content (discussion only)
Didn't extrapolate well under extreme climatic conditions
- Additional covariates may be needed (See extra plots, refer clay content)
Other agricultural species
SETUP LIMITATIONS THEN RESOLVE WITH A FURTHER WORK
