Airborne LiDAR enables direct measurement of canopy height and three-dimensional forest structure, but many LiDAR-based studies remain difficult to reproduce due to ad hoc processing decisions and limited pipeline transp...

Tropical forests hold the most species yet face the greatest threats and knowledge gaps. To improve tropical biodiversity knowledge we combined satellite-based LiDAR with in situ bird, mammal, and acoustic soundscape dat...

Abstract Primary temperate forests serve as a natural framework for studying linkages between vegetation, soil properties and microbial communities under minimal human disturbance. Here, we characterize how soil bacteria...

apria himalayana Griff. f. albovinosa Banziger & Hansen (Rafflesiaceae) is rare and endemic to northeastern Thailand, Vietnam, and Manipur, with a short flowering season ranging from late October to late November, due to...

Forest ecosystems play a fundamental role in sustaining global water cycles and ecological security, and accurate modeling of their eco-hydrological processes is essential for forest management, watershed regulation, and...

Background: Extreme heat poses growing public health challenges, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. Assessing heat vulnerability at the county level is crucial for guiding adaptation strategies. Methods: A count...

This study presents a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of various regression models for estimating forest stand phytomass stocks in spruce forests developed on Al-Fe-humic podzols at the northern tree line in th...

Relevance and aim. Korean pine-broadleaf forests of the southern Sikhote-Alin are unique forest ecosystems with high biological value and complex structure. Under ongoing forest exploitation and degradation of old-growth...

Abstract Introduction Across the globe, traditional medicine, particularly herbal remedies, is a cornerstone of healthcare. While the medicinal uses of ferns are widely recognized globally, their therapeutic potential in...

Downhole Dynamic Compaction (DDC) piles are the most widely used technique for the mitigation of loess foundation collapsibility. While previous studies have extensively verified their macro-mechanical improvement perfor...

Evaluations in community forestry, such as Indonesia's Social Forestry program, commonly rely on stand-alone economic, social, or environmental indicators. Return on Investment (ROI) is useful for economic but insufficie...

Climate change-induced weather extremes are increasing the intensity and frequency of disturbance events, posing a major threat to forests globally. In Central Europe, hotter and drier summers, such as those during the 2...

Abstract Improving cacao yield, a key objective in post-domestication crop improvement, remains a primary goal for breeders, but progress is often hindered by the confounding effects of population structure. To overcome ...

Changes in forest cover from forest to non-forest systems alter habitat structure and resource availability, thereby affecting the functional composition of bird communities. This study aimed to identify and compare the ...

Understanding how species that share the same habitat coexist can reveal how niche segregation helps reduce competition and structure communities. This study examines foraging niche segregation among six woodpecker speci...

Among the many natural disturbances that affect Canada's boreal and temperate forest biomes, wildfire has the greatest impact on forest productivity, landscape structure, timber supply and greenhouse gas emissions. Fire ...

The competition, especially for light, is a fundamental determinant of the structure and composition of a forest. Large-scale forest models must balance real-world complexity with computational demand and poorly constrai...

Abstract Understanding and controlling the marine degradation of biodegradable polymers is crucial for sustainable materials engineering and pollution prevention. However, a unified interpretive method that links multisc...

Abstract This research employs hybrid machine learning techniques to optimize the mechanical properties of 3D-printed polylactic acid (PLA) lattice structures. By integrating random forest (RF) and XGBoost (XGB) algorith...

Open-pit coal mine rehabilitation is essential to mitigate ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss. Given that ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are excellent bioindicators, we evaluated the response of their communitie...

Abstract The precise forecasting of the Remaining Useful Life (RUL, expressed in hours) of aircraft engine-like systems using a synthetic dataset designed to mimic real engine degradation patterns is a key factor in sett...

Abstract Research on the dynamics and driving mechanisms of submerged macrophytes communities during the natural restoration period of lakes with different trophic level remains relatively scarce. This study aims to inve...

BackgroundEarly detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains challenging in primary care, where access to ophthalmic screening is limited. We developed and validated a prediction model using routinely collected health ...
