Classifying fungi biodiversity using hybrid transformer models.

Journal of microbiological methods
Fungi are essential members of ecosystems, playing key roles in nutrient cycling, agriculture, and medicine. Their classification into proper species helps us to understand their biodiversity, allowing us to leverage their ecological and practical be...

Multi-scale transformation and evolutionary factors of ecological security patterns in the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

Journal of environmental management
Ecological security is vital for ecosystem sustainability and varies across scales. Macro-scale assessments often miss local details, whereas micro-scale evaluations may overlook broader patterns. Multi-scale analysis of ecological security patterns ...

Polarization of dryland vegetation response to spring flood.

Journal of environmental management
Dryland vegetation plays a pivotal role in the global ecosystem and is extraordinarily sensitive to water pulses, yet it is experiencing increasingly severe flooding. Floods have both significant beneficial and detrimental effects that may trigger ex...

Spatiotemporal variations and driving mechanisms of carbon storage in Central Asia: Insights from the PLUS-InVEST models and machine learning.

Journal of environmental management
Against the backdrop of global climate change and rapid socioeconomic advancement, significant land use/cover changes(LUCC) in Central Asia have profoundly impacted terrestrial ecosystem carbon storage(CS). However, the assessment and spatiotemporal ...

Analysis of the influence of climate change on wetland evolution and its driving process from an integrated perspective of landscape connectivity and fragmentation.

Journal of environmental management
The evolution of wetland ecosystems from the perspectives of landscape connectivity and fragmentation is a critical interdisciplinary topic in contemporary wetland science and landscape ecology. In the context of global warming, the mechanisms by whi...

Profiling of mangrove forest dynamics in the Fly River delta, Papua New Guinea.

Marine pollution bulletin
Mangrove forests (MFs), as vital ecosystems in tropical and subtropical coastal regions, play a significant role in the global carbon cycle. However, MFs are currently facing unprecedented risks of degradation due to both natural and anthropogenic fa...

Production of the Neurotoxin BMAA by Marine Diatoms Drives Its Widespread Occurrence in Estuarine and Coastal Ecosystems.

Environmental science & technology
Phytoplankton are the primary producers of marine neurotoxins such as β--methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA), which cause seafood poisoning outbreaks in estuarine and coastal regions. BMAA has gained much attention for its pathogenic link to Alzheimer's and...

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...

Estimating canopy leaf angle from leaf to ecosystem scale: a novel deep learning approach using unmanned aerial vehicle imagery.

The New phytologist
Leaf angle distribution (LAD) impacts plant photosynthesis, water use efficiency, and ecosystem primary productivity, which are crucial for understanding surface energy balance and climate change responses. Traditional LAD measurement methods are tim...

Evaluating marine environmental pollution using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP): A comprehensive framework for sustainable coastal and oceanic management.

Marine pollution bulletin
Marine pollution poses a significant threat to ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health, necessitating a structured evaluation framework. This study applies the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to prioritize five major marine pollution sourc...
