Abstract: Inventions include methods and systems for evaluation of agriculture sites and execution of actions for improving various site parameters in a sustainable manner. In embodiments, a method for characterization and improvement of an agricultural site includes: receiving a set of agriculture samples from an agriculture site or in association with an agricultural process; generating sample data upon processing the set of samples with a set of sample processing operations; generating a set of features upon performing a set of transformation operations upon the set of data streams; returning an analysis characterizing a status of the agriculture site in relation to at least one perturbation, upon processing the set of features; and executing an action for at least one of maintaining and improving the agriculture site, based upon the analysis. The inventions implement features associated with composition, network properties, and emergent properties as biomarkers for characterizing statuses of sites under analysis.

Abstract: A method includes receiving identifiers of a set of computing devices to participate in a cross-device data visualization session; sending a data set to each computing device and instructions to display a first portion of the data set; receiving an interaction with one of the identified computing devices requesting another computing device to display a second portion of the data set; sending an instruction to display the second portion of the data set to the at least some of the other identified computing devices, where the instruction is sent without sending at least some of the second portion after receiving the interaction and the instruction causes the at least some of the other identified computing devices to execute the instructions on the at least some of the second portion of the data set that is present at the at least some of the other identified computing devices.
