Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Carbon Flux of Down Woody Materials in Forests of the North Central United States
International Journal of Forestry Research, 2010 Across large scales, the carbon (C) flux of down woody material (DWM) detrital pools has largely been simulated based on forest stand attributes (e.g., stand age and forest type).

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The geometry of alluvial river channels can give insight into their stability, which can inform predictions of morphological change, flood risk and ecological degradation. Fundamental hydraulic geometry relations can be used to estimate the equilibrium dimensions of stable river channels by evaluating the balance between the erodibility of bed

Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.

Insects, 2018 The distribution of Amblyomma americanum (L.) is changing and reports of tick-borne disease transmitted by A. americanum are increasing in the USA. We used flagging to collect ticks, surveyed vegetation and collected weather data in 2015 and 2016.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.We evaluated single‐ and multi‐sensor UAV approaches for classifying tree species and standing dead trees in boreal forests, focusing on key biodiversity indicators such as European aspen. Using spectral and structural features extracted from RGB, multispectral (MSP), and LiDAR point clouds for 1,205 field‐measured trees, we compared classification ...

Natural regeneration on coarse woody debris
, 2016 In the Pacific Northwest temperate forest, coarse woody debris provides a great substrate for natural regeneration of many conifer species. Logs in decay class III and IV are most suitable for seedling growth. Seedling establishment and early survival rate are higher on nurse logs than on forest floors because of favorable microsite and seedbed ...

Resources of dead wood in the municipal forests in Warsaw
Leśne Prace Badawcze, 2015 Dead wood plays an important role for the biodiversity of forest ecosystems and influences their proper development. This study assessed the amount of coarse woody debris in municipal forests in Warsaw (central Poland).
