Inversion and validation of soil water-holding capacity in a wild fruit forest, using hyperspectral technology combined with machine learning.

Scientific reports
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 ...

A data-driven approach to forest health assessment through multivariate analysis and machine learning techniques.

BMC plant biology
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...

Tecomella undulata under threat: The impact of climate change on the distribution of a valuable tree species using a machine learning model.

PloS one
Climate change has emerged as a significant driver of biodiversity loss, with profound implications for species distribution. This study assessed the current and future distribution of Tecomella undulata (Desert teak), an economically and medicinally...

Combined impact of semantic segmentation and quantitative structure modelling of Southern pine trees using terrestrial laser scanning.

Scientific reports
Southern pine forests play a key role in the ecological function and economic vitality of the southeastern United States. High-resolution terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) has become an indispensable tool for advancing tree structural research and mon...

Explainable few-shot learning workflow for detecting invasive and exotic tree species.

Scientific reports
Deep Learning methods are notorious for relying on extensive labeled datasets to train and assess their performance. This can cause difficulties in practical situations where models should be trained for new applications for which very little data is...

Monitoring temporal changes in large urban street trees using remote sensing and deep learning.

PloS one
In the rapidly changing dynamics of urbanization, urban forests offer numerous benefits to city dwellers. However, the information available on these resources is often outdated or non-existent, leading in part to inequitable access to these benefits...

Study on the structural function and motion performance of pneumatic flexible tree-climbing robot.

PloS one
To enhance the adaptability of tree-climbing robots to changes in tree diameter and load capacity, an "I-shaped" pneumatic flexible tree - climbing robot was designed using self-developed pneumatic flexible joints and retractable needle anchors. The ...

Machine learning techniques for continuous genetic assignment of geographic origin of forest trees.

PloS one
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....

Comparing statistical and deep learning approaches for simultaneous prediction of stand-level above- and belowground biomass in tropical forests.

The Science of the total environment
Accurate and cost-effective prediction of aboveground biomass (AGB), belowground biomass (BGB), and the total (ABGB) at stand-level within tropical forests is crucial for effective forest ecological management and the provision of forest ecosystem se...

Cooperative control of environmental extremes by artificial intelligent agents.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Humans have been able to tackle biosphere complexities by acting as ecosystem engineers, profoundly changing the flows of matter, energy and information. This includes major innovations that allowed to reduce and control the impact of extreme events....
