Estimation of the Conifer-Broadleaf Ratio in Mixed Forests Based on Time-Series Data
Remote Sensing, 2021 Most natural forests are mixed forests, a mixed broadleaf-conifer forest is essentially a heterogeneously mixed pixel in remote sensing images. Satellite missions rely on modeling to acquire regional or global vegetation parameter products.

Trait divergence and opposite above- and below-ground strategies facilitate moso bamboo invasion into subtropical evergreen broadleaf forest [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceUnderstanding the invasion of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) into adjacent evergreen broadleaf forest based on functional traits is crucial due to its significant influence on ecosystem processes.

Analysis and optimization of the MODIS leaf area index algorithm retrievals over broadleaf forests
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2005 —Broadleaf forest is a major type of Earth’s land cover with the highest observable vegetation density. Retrievals of biophysical parameters, such as leaf area index (LAI), of broadleaf forests at global scale constitute a major challenge to modern ...

Mutual effects between Pinus armandii and broadleaf litter during mixed decomposition
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2019 Mixed-decomposition effects are commonly observed in natural and planted forests and affect nutrient cycling in a forest ecosystem. However, how one litter type affects the decomposition of another is still poorly understood.

Application of stand biomass in the evaluation of site quality for broadleaf forests in China
Frontiers in Forests and Global ChangeA scientific evaluation of site quality is essential for the sustainable management of forest ecosystems. However, the absence of a standardized evaluation framework has resulted in site quality assessments that are not comparable across different ...

Broadleaf seedling responses to warmer temperatures “chilled” by late frost that favors conifers
European Journal of Forest Research, 2014 Climate change includes not only shifts in mean conditions but also changes in the frequency and timing of extreme weather events. Tree seedlings, as the potential future overstory, are responding to the selective pressures of both mean and extreme ...
