Depth-dependent heterogeneity in topsoil stockpiles influences plant-microbe interactions and revegetation success in arid mine reclamation.

The Science of the total environment
Covering mine tailings with uncontaminated soil is a common strategy to mitigate environmental impacts and promote ecosystem recovery during post-mining land reclamation. Topsoil is often stockpiled for future use as a capping layer, but prolonged st...

Prediction of changes in suitable habitats for tea plants in China's four major tea-producing regions based on machine learning models.

PloS one
Under the background of ongoing global climate warming, clarifying the spatiotemporal dynamics of suitable habitats for tea plants and their potential impact on forest ecosystems is essential for promoting sustainable tea industry development and eco...

Estimation of woody vegetation biomass in Australia based on multi-source remote sensing data and stacking models.

Scientific reports
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...

Predicting the co-invasion of two Asteraceae plant genera in post-mining landscapes using satellite remote sensing and airborne LiDAR.

Scientific reports
The Asteraceae plant family includes the most widespread weedy invaders in Europe, which may jointly inhibit natural succession in degraded land under restoration. The complex local drivers of co-invasions hinder remote sensing (RS) monitoring effort...

Species habitat modeling based on image semantic segmentation.

Scientific reports
Habitat monitoring has emerged as a crucial practice for preserving ecological environments and ensuring species reproduction. Traditional habitat modeling often relies on the "lasagna model"-a McHarg-style approach that focuses on the ecological nic...

Species distribution modeling to predict tsetse fly (Glossina spp.) habitat suitability in Kenya.

Parasites & vectors
BACKGROUND: African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) and human African trypanosomosis (HAT) are transmitted and spread primarily by tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) in sub-Saharan Africa. The animal disease poses significant challenges to agropastoral systems...

Experimental mapping of bacterial fitness landscapes reveals eco-evolutionary fingerprints.

Scientific reports
Understanding microbial dynamics in natural environments remains a significant challenge. As an alternative approach, studying model bacterial strains under well-defined laboratory conditions can reveal ecological niche patterns and evolutionary cons...

Identifying Key Taxa for Algal Blooms in a Large Aquatic Ecosystem through Machine Learning.

Environmental science & technology
Identifying key species responsible for excessive growth of algae communities, as reflected by the floating algae index (FAI), is crucial for developing targeted management strategies to control algal blooms (ABs). However, current approaches for alg...

Artificial vision models for the identification of Mediterranean flora: An analysis in four ecosystems.

PloS one
Object identification has been widely used in several applications, utilising the annotated data with bounding boxes to specify each object's exact location and category in images and videos. However, relatively little research has been conducted on ...

Trait mediation explains decadal distributional shifts for a wide range of insect taxa.

Nature communications
Shifts in insect distributions have been reported globally, largely attributed to climate and landscape changes. Communities are being reshaped, with species response traits mediating the effects of changing environments. Using a machine-learning app...
