The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

A 3-D Spatial–Spectral–Temporal Deep Regression Model for Improving Mangrove Canopy Height Estimation Through Fusion of Optimized Red-Edge Sentinel-2 Bands and Sentinel-1 SAR Data

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Mangroves are vital blue carbon ecosystems with high carbon storage, where canopy height is a key parameter for estimating above-ground biomass.

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

Patterns of understorey bird diversity across Amazonian forests: survey effort and range maps predict local species richness

Ecography, EarlyView.
Species diversity typically increases from higher to lower latitudes, but the regional‐scale variation along this geographic gradient remains unclear. It has been suggested that species diversity throughout Amazonia generally increases westward toward the Andes, but this pattern and its environmental determinants require further investigation for most ...

Shifting baselines increase the risk of misinterpreting biodiversity trends

Ecography, EarlyView.
Ecological studies quantifying the impact of land‐use change on biodiversity may be sensitive to the choice of reference points – or baselines – particularly when sampling across human land‐use gradients and other space‐for‐time comparisons. Much depends on whether the chosen baseline has already undergone shifts in species composition because of ...

Precipitation and tree biomass correlate with the diversity and functional composition of tropical rainforest cricket assemblages across climate and disturbance gradients

Ecography, EarlyView.
Disturbance‐driven changes in rainforest structure and environmental conditions can alter ecosystem functioning, yet the consequences for invertebrate communities – key contributors to decomposition, herbivory, and trophic interactions – are not fully understood, particularly in relation to structural changes in vegetation.

Volatile Organic Compound Release During Litter Decomposition in the Arctic

Global Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.
Volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from Arctic litter decomposition decline over time and differ strongly between Cassiope tetragona and Salix arctica. The inter‐species differences and changes over time are greater than the effects of climate change treatments on litter VOC emissions.

Mapping Forest Height and Temporal Decorrelation With SAOCOM and GEDI Data

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Polarimetric SAR interferometric (PolInSAR) methods have proven effective for estimating canopy height using airborne data, yet their application with spaceborne sensors remains limited.
