A sensitivity study of daytime net radiation during snowmelt to forest canopy and atmospheric conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
This study investigates the dependence of net radiation at snow surfaces under forest canopies on the overlying canopy density. The daily sum of positive values of net radiation is used as an index of the snowmelt rate.

Modified F‐tests for assessing tree radial growth under linear‐circular regression models with correlated errors: A comprehensive toolbox rooted in G. E. P. Box's theorems

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Annual tree growth is a complex biological process. Modelling radial growth in the trunk by linear‐circular regression with one mode and correlated errors has allowed the definition and assessment of a preferred direction for 1 and 2 years. Here, modified F$$ F $$‐tests are presented for 3 years, 1 mode/year; 1 year, 2 modes for possible main ...

Changes in forest ecosystem stability under climate change in a temperate landscape

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change
Climate change poses significant threats to forests globally. Understanding the relationship between environmental variables and species distribution is crucial for evaluating the vulnerability of tree species assemblies to anticipated climate change ...

Using hyperspectral remote sensing data for retrieving canopy water content [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Canopy water content (CWC) is important for understanding functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Spectral derivatives at the slopes of the 970 nm and 1200 nm water absorption features offer good potential as estimators for CWC.

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

Global distribution of avian plumage coloration and patterning: the relative influence of climate, ecology, and sexual selection

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Animal coloration exhibits substantial biogeographic variation, reflecting complex adaptations to both abiotic and biotic environments. Although the evolutionary mechanisms underlying avian plumage coloration have been widely studied, geographic variation in plumage patterning has received far less attention.

Legacy effects of redlining on the distribution of greenspaces in US cities

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
We investigated how a discriminatory housing policy—redlining—has shaped the spatial patterns and configurations of greenspaces throughout 177 cities in the contiguous US. Housing segregation has been a long‐term development practice that has sequestered communities of color to areas with elevated environmental and public health risks.
