Origin tracking is important to ensure use of the right seed source and trade with legally harvested timber. Additionally, it can help to reconstruct human-caused historical long-distance seed transfer and to spot mislabelling in forest field trials....
BACKGROUND: FTIR microspectroscopy is a popular non-destructive technique for chemical analysis and identification of microparticles, such as microplastics, pollen, spores, microplankton organisms, sediments and microfossils. Unfortunately, measured ...
This study aimed to investigate the performance and factors affecting the species classification of convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture using whole-part and earlywood-part cross-sectional datasets of six Korean Quercus species. The accura...
Conventional techniques for monitoring pollen currently have significant limitations in terms of labour, cost and the spatiotemporal resolution that can be achieved. Pollen monitoring networks across the world are generally sparse and are not able to...

Quercus is one of the important elements of forests worldwide. But the diagnosis of the species in this genus in particular using leaves is pretty challenging due to the presence of natural hybrids and phenotypically plastic trait expression. In this...
Alignment-free methods, more time and memory efficient than alignment-based methods, have been widely used for comparing genome sequences or raw sequencing samples without assembly. However, in this study, we show that alignment-free dissimilarity ca...
A new solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent was introduced based on acidic-modified (AM) activated carbon (AC) prepared from acorn shells of native oak trees in Kurdistan. Hydrochloric acid (15%, w/w) and nitric acid (32.5%, w/w) were used to conditio...
