How to start Master's Thesis on Crop Pollination with InVEST Model

Science, Research & Data
1

Hello,
I am currently pursuing my Master’s thesis on crop pollination and am utilizing the InVEST model for my research.
I have access to Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) maps from the EU’s 10 initiatives.
Could you please advise on the initial steps to take when applying the InVEST Crop Pollination model with these LULC maps?

Additionally, if there are any tutorials or resources that could assist me in this process, I would greatly appreciate your recommendations.

Hi @sachinshukla, welcome to the forum!

As a first step, I recommend reading through the Crop Pollination section of the InVEST User Guide. You’ll find lots of useful details about how the model works and what data inputs you need to provide.

If this is your first time using InVEST, you might also find some helpful resources in the Introduction and Getting Started section of the User Guide.
