Climate warming is a major global challenge, and forests, essential carbon sinks, are critical in mitigating its effects. Forest carbon density is a key parameter in assessing the carbon sinks. Traditional estimating methods of forest carbon density ...
The classification and identification of forest tree species is of great value in the study of species diversity and forest monitoring. With the development of emerging technologies, the combination of remote sensing images and deep learning methods ...
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...
Snakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease that affects mainly rural populations, where antivenom is scarce. Understanding environmental drivers of snakebite incidence is critical for public health preparedness. This study employs causal in...
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 ...
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 ...
Wood species recognition has recently emerged as a vital field in the realm of forestry and ecological conservation. Early studies in this domain have offered various methods for classifying distinct wood species found worldwide using data collected ...
Soil water retention is a critical aspect of water conservation. To quantitatively assess the Soil Water-Holding Capacity (SWHC), this study focused on a typical wild fruit forest in Xinjiang, China. The spectral characteristics of the forest canopy ...
Better urban planning depends on assessing how land use and land cover (LULC) have evolved in recent decades and what the prospects are for change in the future. Cities are the result of various factors interacting, and land configuration directly in...
BACKGROUND: Himalayan forests are fragile, rich in biodiversity, and face increasing threats from anthropogenic pressures and climate change. Assessing their health is critical for sustainable forest management. This study integrated ecological indic...
