Joint Fire Science Project (JFSP) Understory Plant Community Synthesis over Two Decades Following Fire: Environmental Variables, Characteristics of the Wildfire Disturbance and Regime, and the Development of the Overstory
This synthesized dataset contains site-level information on topo-edaphic conditions, the 2004 wildfire and each site's broader wildfire history, and canopy development following disturbance. Timing of data collection for these different variables range from 2005, at the initiation of the JFSP project (also called the 2004 Alaska Burns), to 2024, corresponding to twenty years post-fire. This dataset was compiled as part of a project synthesizing drivers of understory plant community composition over twenty years post-fire.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

It is proved that any global minimizer of the trajectory balance objective can define a policy that samples exactly from the target distribution, and empirically demonstrate the benefits of the trajectories balance objective for GFlowNet convergence, diversity of generated samples, and robustness to long action sequenc...
