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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 However, the information available on these resources is often outdated or non-existent, leading in part to inequitable access to these benefits...
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 ...
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....
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...
