Soil moisture mapping in Indian tropical islands with C-band SAR and artificial neural network models.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
This study aims at analyzing the patterns of soil moisture in the South Andaman district using an integrated approach that incorporates Sentinel-1A C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data and other auxiliary data from Sentinel-2A and Landsat 8. A ...

Phylogenomics and phylogeographic model testing using convolutional neural networks reveal a history of recent admixture in the Canarian Kleinia neriifolia.

Molecular ecology
Multiple-island endemics (MIE) are considered ideal natural subjects to study patterns of island colonization that involve recent population-level genetic processes. Kleinia neriifolia is a Canarian MIE widespread across the archipelago, which exhibi...

Human thermal sensation over a mountainous area, revealed by the application of ANNs: the case of Ainos Mt., Kefalonia Island, Greece.

International journal of biometeorology
Mt. Ainos in Kefalonia Island, Greece, hosts a large variety of plant species, some of them endemic to the region. Because of its rich biodiversity, a large portion of the mountain area is designated as National Park and is protected from human activ...

Artificial intelligence models to predict acute phytotoxicity in petroleum contaminated soils.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Environment pollutants, especially those from total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), have a highly complex chemical, biological and physical impact on soils. Here we study this influence via modelling the TPH acute phytotoxicity effects on eleven sample...

Automatic Hierarchical Classification of Kelps Using Deep Residual Features.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Across the globe, remote image data is rapidly being collected for the assessment of benthic communities from shallow to extremely deep waters on continental slopes to the abyssal seas. Exploiting this data is presently limited by the time it takes f...

Development and application of artificial neural network models to estimate values of a complex human thermal comfort index associated with urban heat and cool island patterns using air temperature data from a standard meteorological station.

International journal of biometeorology
The present study deals with the development and application of artificial neural network models (ANNs) to estimate the values of a complex human thermal comfort-discomfort index associated with urban heat and cool island conditions inside various ur...

Mapping of the corals around Hendorabi Island (Persian Gulf), using WorldView-2 standard imagery coupled with field observations.

Marine pollution bulletin
High spatial resolution WorldView-2 (WV2) satellite imagery coupled with field observations have been utilized for mapping the coral reefs around Hendorabi Island in the northern Persian Gulf. In doing so, three standard multispectral bands (red, gre...

Ecological systems as computer networks: Long distance sea dispersal as a communication medium between island plant populations.

Bio Systems
Ecological systems are known to exchange genetic material through animal species migration and seed dispersal for plants. Isolated plant populations have developed long distance dispersal as a means of propagation which rely on meteorological such as...

Investigation of spatially varying relationships between cadmium accumulation and potential controlling factors in the topsoil of island of Ireland based on spatial machine learning approaches.

Environmental research
BACKGROUND: Cadmium (Cd) contamination in soils is a pressing environmental issue due to its toxicity and persistence. Given the diverse geological formations and intensive agricultural activities in Ireland, understanding the distribution and source...
