The role of artificial intelligence and bureaucracy in frugal innovation for social and environmental performance: A structuration theory approach.

Journal of environmental management
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has played a crucial role in decision-making within public departments. The impact of AI on the discretion exercised by public officials and bureaucrats has attracted significant scholarly attention. Despite the growing b...

The impact of socio-economic factors on the ecological footprint in Turkey: A comprehensive analysis using machine learning approaches.

Journal of environmental management
This study undertakes a comprehensive investigation into the impact of socioeconomic factors on the ecological footprint (EFP) in Turkey. It employs robust econometric methods and advanced Machine Learning (ML) models. The study employs Generalized L...

Temporal insights into ecological community: Advancing waterbird monitoring with dome camera and deep learning.

Journal of environmental management
Biodiversity monitoring is critical for conservation and management. However, efficient species monitoring is often hindered by the complexities of ecological dynamics and the constraints of conventional techniques. This study presents an automated o...

Comparing point counts, passive acoustic monitoring, citizen science and machine learning for bird species monitoring in the Mount Kenya ecosystem.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences
Biodiversity loss is a pressing challenge, with ecosystems across the world under threat from factors such as human encroachment, over exploitation and climate change. It is important to increase ecosystem monitoring efforts to provide actionable ins...

Opportunities and challenges for monitoring terrestrial biodiversity in the robotics age.

Nature ecology & evolution
With biodiversity loss escalating globally, a step change is needed in our capacity to accurately monitor species populations across ecosystems. Robotic and autonomous systems (RAS) offer technological solutions that may substantially advance terrest...

Illuminating themes of ecovillages by leveraging participatory modeling: A convergent Gen-AI and Fuzzy Cognitive Maps approach.

Journal of environmental management
Ecovillages, as defined by the United Nations, are communities that focus primarily on aspects of sustainability. The research on ecovillages is vital, as it helps to uncover actionable artefacts of sustainable practices. However, much of the extant ...

The impact of industrial robot on green total factor energy efficiency under the "resource curse" perspective: Evidence from cities in China.

Journal of environmental management
The extensive adoption of industrial robotics across China has sparked significant interest in whether their deployment can effectively drive the transition towards more sustainable urban energy consumption patterns. This paper examines whether the i...

Efficient estimation of plant species diversity in desert regions using UAV-based quadrats and advanced machine learning techniques.

Journal of environmental management
Understanding the distribution of plant species diversity(PSD) along spatial and environmental gradients is essential for implementing effective conservation strategies. However, effective monitoring of large-scale PSD in desert regions remain challe...

Robotic monitoring of European habitats: a labeled dataset for plant detection in Annex I habitats of Italy.

Scientific data
The present data descriptor presents a dataset designed for the detection of plant species in various habitats of the European Union. This dataset is based on images captured using multiple different hardware including quadrupedal robot ANYmal C, ref...

New opportunities and challenges for conservation evidence synthesis from advances in natural language processing.

Conservation biology : the journal of the Society for Conservation Biology
Addressing global environmental conservation problems requires rapidly translating natural and conservation social science evidence to policy-relevant information. Yet, exponential increases in scientific production combined with disciplinary differe...
