Soundscapes and deep learning enable tracking biodiversity recovery in tropical forests.

Nature communications
Tropical forest recovery is fundamental to addressing the intertwined climate and biodiversity loss crises. While regenerating trees sequester carbon relatively quickly, the pace of biodiversity recovery remains contentious. Here, we use bioacoustics...

Anthropogenic fingerprints in daily precipitation revealed by deep learning.

Nature
According to twenty-first century climate-model projections, greenhouse warming will intensify rainfall variability and extremes across the globe. However, verifying this prediction using observations has remained a substantial challenge owing to lar...

Ensemble of fuzzy-analytical hierarchy process in landslide susceptibility modeling from a humid tropical region of Western Ghats, Southern India.

Environmental science and pollution research international
The western flanks of the Western Ghats are one of the major landslide hotspots in India. Recent rainfall triggered landslide incidents in this humid tropical region necessitating the accurate and reliable landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) of se...

Characterizing and forecasting the responses of tropical forest leaf phenology to El Nino by machine learning algorithms.

PloS one
Climate change and global warming have serious adverse impacts on tropical forests. In particular, climate change may induce changes in leaf phenology. However, in tropical dry forests where tree diversity is high, species responses to climate change...

Quantifying Tropical Plant Diversity Requires an Integrated Technological Approach.

Trends in ecology & evolution
Tropical biomes are the most diverse plant communities on Earth, and quantifying this diversity at large spatial scales is vital for many purposes. As macroecological approaches proliferate, the taxonomic uncertainties in species occurrence data are ...

Soil and litter emission sources as important contributors to ozone production from volatile organic compounds in island tropical forests.

Environmental research
While studies have confirmed that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted directly by tropical island forest vegetation significantly influence ozone (O) production and climate change through atmospheric oxidation processes, the environmental effec...

Exploring hydrochemical drivers of drinking water quality in a tropical river basin using self-organizing maps and explainable AI.

Water research
Groundwater quality assessment is essential for ensuring sustainable water resource management, particularly in regions heavily dependent on groundwater for domestic and agricultural needs. This study aims to investigate the hydrochemical characteris...
