Vegetation serves as the most critical carbon reservoir within terrestrial ecosystems and plays a vital role in mitigating global climate change. Australia features a vast and diverse landscape, ranging from dense eucalyptus forests to sparse woodlan...
Accurate biomass estimation is essential for forest monitoring, energy planning and carbon accounting in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where destructive sampling is often impractical. Biomass estimation models (BEMs) offer scalable alternatives, but thei...
Lakes across the globe are experiencing growing ecological pressure from climate change and human activities. In prairie regions, these pressures often result in shifts in phytoplankton abundance, a key indicator of water quality. Yet identifying the...
Coastal wetlands are crucial in shoreline stabilization, carbon sequestration, and storm protection. Yet, due to limitations in traditional destructive sampling techniques, the belowground biomass (live root mass) and necromass (dead and decaying roo...
Plants sequester carbon in their aboveground components, making aboveground tree biomass a key metric for assessing forest carbon storage. Traditional methods of aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation via Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) plots lack ...

Fish population biomass fluctuates through time in ways that may be either gradual or abrupt. While abrupt shifts in fish population productivity have been shown to be common, they are rarely integrated into stock assessment or fishery management, in...
This study investigated the impact of alkaline pretreatment on the biomethane yield of Xyris capensis experimentally and computationally using machine-learning (ML)-based techniques. Despite extensive studies on the anaerobic digestion of lignocellul...
BACKGROUND: Plant growth regulators (PGRs) have proven effective in alleviating salt stress damage in crops, yet the predictive hierarchy of physiological traits governing biomass under combined salt-PGR regimes remains unclear. In this study, we app...
The increasing generation of waste biomass presents both environmental challenges and opportunities for sustainable resource recovery. This study explores advanced conversion technologies that transform waste biomass into valuable products, including...
Copiotrophic marine bacteria contribute to the control of carbon storage in the ocean by remineralizing organic matter. Motility presents copiotrophs with a risk-reward trade-off: it is highly beneficial in seeking out sparse nutrient hotspots, but e...
