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
