Abstract

This research develops BioFusionGrid, an innovative framework integrating generative ecosystem simulations with traditional environmental prediction models to enhance the accuracy, scalability, and user accessibility of environmental predictions. Utilizing advanced computational ecology techniques, high-performance computing, and multi-method approaches, BioFusionGrid incorporates remote sensing data, climate models, and biological datasets through sophisticated data fusion techniques. The scalable architecture efficiently manages extensive geographic and temporal scales, and an interactive platform facilitates user engagement with simulation results. Findings show a significant improvement in predictive accuracy, with error reductions of up to 25% compared to traditional models, and demonstrate the framework's ability to handle large-scale simulations. The research concludes that BioFusionGrid offers a robust solution to the challenges in environmental prediction modeling, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of ecosystem forecasts and facilitating informed decision-making. The open-source nature of BioFusionGrid promotes further advancements in computational ecology, benefiting researchers, policymakers, and environmental stakeholders globally.
