Efficient Automatic Pollen Recognition From Fossil Pollen Samples: A High-Resolution Example Record From Palaeolake Kieshofer Moor, Northeastern Germany. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe applied the two‐stage, AI‐based TOFSI approach to test automatic pollen recognition with fossil pollen samples. The algorithm performs very well for all major pollen types and other non‐pollen object classes, suggesting that such tools have the potential to substantially increase the efficiency of pollen analysis.

Soil Respiration Dynamics and Environmental Controls Across Montane Forests of Nepal. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractABSTRACT Soil respiration (RS) represents a major process of release of carbon dioxide (CO2) from soil to atmospheric carbon pools. Measurements of soil respiration help to understand the dynamics of carbon in ecosystems. This study examines the soil respiration rate and the effect of environmental variables in different forests along elevation ...

Genomic evidence for homoploid hybrid speciation between ancestors of two different genera
Nature Communications, 2022 Carpinus fangiana exhibits intermediate morphology between C. viminea and Ostrya rehderiana. Here, the authors report that Carpinus sect. Distegocarpus likely originate through homoploid hybrid speciation (HHS) during the early divergence between ...
