Tree bark represents a large global carbon stock, comprising 2-20 % of woody biomass, and plays a distinct role in carbon and nutrient cycling. It is poorly understood how different abiotic and biotic drivers contribute to bark decomposition globally...
Flash droughts, characterized by rapid onset and increasing frequency, pose significant threats to ecosystem stability and function. However, there remains no global consensus regarding forest responses to flash droughts. Here, using a reconstructed ...
Koala populations are declining primarily due to habitat loss, making large-scale habitat quality prediction essential for conservation. A first approach to defining koala habitat quality involves identifying the number of different 'koala' trees spe...
This paper proposes an automated solution for tree enumeration in areas designated for forest land division using drone image processing. Traditional tree counting methods are time-consuming and error-prone. Our approach leverages drone imagery and a...
Mango is a fruit of great economic importance in India. India is the top mango-producing nation in the world, accounting for over half of global mango output. In order to determine the production capability of the insured orchards, a complete invento...
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...
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 ...
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 ...
