Facilitating macrosystem biology with organismal‐scale airborne remote sensing: Challenges and opportunities

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Emergent ecosystem properties, such as population and trait distributions, biodiversity and energy and water fluxes, occur because of the dynamic interactions of individuals in their environment.

Is Our Winter Experience Safe? Micropollutant Risks for Artificial Snowing

Science of The Total Environment
Artificial snowing is a process that allows ski operators adapt to snow scarcity due to climate change while raising environmental and public health concerns about the role it plays in environmental dissemination of pollutants, but studies addressing this question are still scarce.

Comparison of vegetation on ski slopes with artificial or natural snow in CHKO Bílé Karpaty and CHKO Beskydy

, 2011
Vegetation cover of 24 ski slopes both with artificial and natural snow was studied; on each slope 5 phytocenological relevés measuring 4 x 4 metres were taken.

All roads lead to infection: A mechanistic model to assess transmission routes of brucellosis in a wild ungulate population

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wildlife and domestic populations frequently share diseases with a potential for cross‐species transmission, posing significant threats to animal and human health, economy and biodiversity conservation.

Deep blueprint: A literature review and guide to automated image classification for ecologists

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
A practical, literature‐grounded review that gives ecologists a clear, modular workflow for deep learning image classification. With code, GUIs and a novel deep sea case study (automated deep sea biotope classification) it lowers technical barriers and provides a usable blueprint for accelerating, standardising, and scaling ecological image analysis ...

FINANCIALIZED GREEN STATE ENTREPRENEURIALISM AND THE URBANIZATION OF MOUNTAINS: Chongli’s Consumption‐based Territorial Business Model for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article develops the concept of a territorial business model (TBM) to renew the analysis of the production of the urban built environment beyond established urban cores. Based on the case of Chongli, a site for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, this article provides a double decentering of the ways in which a mountain region was urbanized

Explainable machine learning for predictive modeling of blowing snow detection and meteorological feature assessment using XGBoost-SHAP.

PLoS ONE
Accurate forecasting of blowing snow events is vital for improving numerical models of snow processes, yet traditional predictive methods often lack interpretability.

Sharing the Same Playground? An Analysis of the Private Sector's Role in Tech Diplomacy

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article takes the emergence of tech diplomacy as the motivation for an investigation into shifting relationships between traditional diplomatic actors and non‐state actors. The observation that ‘new diplomatic actors’ and new diplomatic venues have led to a ‘new kind of diplomacy’ dates back to at least the 1990s.

Effects of snow properties on humans breathing into an artificial air pocket – an experimental field study

, 2017
Breathing under snow, e.g. while buried by a snow avalanche, is possible in the presence of an air pocket, but limited in time as hypoxia and hypercapnia rapidly develop.

Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Subsidized predators—native predators that have become more common due to human activities—challenge the persistence of many at‐risk prey species and require creative solutions beyond lethal predator control. In an 8‐year study, we placed small wire cages over western snowy plover nests that allow passage of plovers, but not their predators, and ...
