Peri‐urban agroforestry for climate mitigation in West Africa: Structural diversity and functional traits as key drivers of carbon storage

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Peri‐urban areas in West Africa are expanding rapidly, often with limited planning and growing exposure to climate risks. Our study shows that agroforestry systems in these landscapes, especially diverse home gardens, can store substantial amounts of carbon when they include structurally complex stands and species with traits that favor biomass ...

Three-Dimensional Response-Surface Modeling and Its Application In Quantifying Canopy Interception and Ground Deposition During Aerial Firefighting

International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems
During the aerial application of fire-extinguishing agents, operational effectiveness is fundamentally determined by the balance between canopy interception and ground deposition, yet the non-linear coupled mechanisms driven by vegetation structure and ...

Disease control in oilseed rape: Current insights and perspectives for next‐generation integrated pest management

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Winter oilseed rape in Europe suffers frequent pathogen losses. This review outlines key integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, rotation, residue and tillage management, optimized sowing, resistance, and targeted fungicides supported by forecasting.

In planta fluxapyroxad gradients from seed treatment differentially select fungicide‐sensitive and reduced‐sensitive genotypes of Pyrenophora teres f. maculata

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Spatial concentration gradients of seed‐applied fluxapyroxad within barley create heterogeneous exposure environments, driving differential suppression of succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor‐sensitive Pyrenophora teres f. maculata isolates and enrichment of reduced‐sensitive genotypes, thereby shaping within‐host fungicide resistance selection dynamics ...

Effect of Maize Plants on Water Distribution under the Condition of Simulated Rainfall

Shuitu baochi yanjiu, 2012
In order to clarify the role of the mature corn in the distribution of rainfall and effectively prevent regional soil erosion,effect of maize plants in maturity stage on canopy interception,throughfall and stemflow were analyzed in hilly region in the ...

Riparian Failure: Damming and Flow Stabilization Exclude Cottonwood Colonization Along a Dryland River

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Marias River flows from Glacier National Park through northcentral Montana, and into the Missouri River. Annual flows gradually declined from 1902 to 2024 (~3.2%/decade) and the 1952 Tiber Dam and Lake Elwell reservoir were operated to attenuate peak flows and stabilize downstream flows year‐round.

Estimation of radiation interception and intercepted photosynthetically active radiation in soybean using smartphone images

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical
The acquisition of parameters such as canopy cover, leaf area index, radiation interception, and intercepted photosynthetically active radiation (iPAR) in crops such as soybean often relies on methods that are costly and ...

Scale dependence in remotely sensed biodiversity: Leveraging continental‐scale imaging spectroscopy from the National Ecological Observatory Network

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Imaging spectroscopy enables large‐scale biodiversity assessment, yet spectral diversity metrics are scale dependent. Across 15 NEON ecosystems, we find that spectral richness increases sub‐linearly from 3600 m2 to 4 km2, whereas spectral divergence shows weak or inconsistent scaling with area, underscoring the importance of scale‐aware interpretation ...

Using Airborne Laser Scanning and Sentinel‐2 to Understand Subcanopy Light Regimes and Understory Diversity of Vascular Plants in Temperate Mountain Forests

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that not just Airborne Laser Scanning, but also Sentinel‐2 can effectively estimate absolute canopy cover and canopy cover heterogeneity ‐ structural metrics that determine the subcanopy light regime, found to be linked to the vascular plant species richness in the understory of temperate mountain forests.

A Comparison of Mobile Laser Scanning Data Acquisition Methods in Closed Forest, Open Woodland and Sub‐Alpine Woodland Ecosystems

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the mobile laser scanning (MLS) sampling density required to reliably characterise vegetation structure increases with a site's structural complexity. Applying a five‐level acquisition framework across open woodland, closed forest and sub‐alpine woodland ecosystems, we found that longer scanning paths increased the ...
