Attempting the Impossible: Enumerating Extremal Submodular Functions for n = 6 by Elod P. Csirmaz, Laszlo Csirmaz

“…Using improved tools from polyhedral geometry, we have computed 360 billion of them, and provide the first reasonable estimate of their total number, which is expected to be between 1000 and 10,000 times this number. The applied Double Description and Adjacency Decomposition methods require an insertion order of the defining inequalities. …”

Forest Ecosystem Carbon Measurement Methods and Future Directions by YUAN Yuna, JIANG Xuebing

“…The forest ecosystem is a crucial component of terrestrial ecosystems,possessing the largest carbon reservoir on the Earth's surface.The fluctuations in its carbon stocks have a profound impact on the global carbon cycle.In the current context of a growing greenhouse effect and the rising occurrence of extreme climates,accurately estimating carbon stocks in the forest ecosystem and strengthening the construction monitoring system for its carbon stocks holds great significance for gaining an in-depth understanding of the global carbon cycle and predicting global climate change.Oriented toward strengthening the carbon sink function of forest ecosystems and achieving the dual carbon target, this paper systematically explained the mechanism of carbon sequestration in forest ecosystems.It analyzed and compared several mainstream methods of forest carbon estimation, proposing feasible strategies for building a forest carbon stock monitoring system in China.The aim is to provide a theoretical reference for the stable improvement of China's forest ecosystem carbon stock monitoring capacity and to provide scientific support for achieving the carbon peak and carbon neutrality in a timely manner.…”
