Using multiscale lidar to determine variation in canopy structure from African forest elephant trails [PDF]
Recently classified as a unique species by the IUCN, African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) are critically endangered due to severe poaching. With limited knowledge about their ecological role due to the dense tropical forests they inhabit in ...

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Road verges function as refuges for semi‐natural species, but they can also facilitate the spread of non‐native plants such as Lupinus polyphyllus. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)–based remote sensing is a promising tool for mapping these species; however, its application in roadside contexts remains limited.

Forest Vegetation Texture Segmentation in Remote Sensing Image Based on Visual Attention [PDF]
Jisuanji gongcheng, 2018 As a typical texture unit of forest vegetation in remote sensing image,the canopy has prominent structural texture features,but the current segmentation methods make use of this texture insufficiently.Aiming at this problem,based on visual attention ...

Sub-Canopy Topography Estimation: Experiments With Multibaseline SAR Data at L-Band [PDF]
, 2012 Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems in L-band and P-band are characterized by deep penetration capabilities into volumes, enabling new opportunities for the radar remote sensing of forests. In the last years, the interest has been continuously growing

Humans and platyrrhines share a pattern of articular variance
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Previous work has identified a pattern of articular shape variation in modern human limb joints, in which convex joint surfaces exhibit constrained variance relative to their more variable concave conarticulars. This pattern is notable given that joint morphogenesis is influenced by local biomechanical environments, which vary substantially ...

Landscape-scale changes in forest canopy structure across a partially logged tropical peat swamp [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 Forest canopy structure is strongly influenced by environmental factors and disturbance, and in turn influences key ecosystem processes including productivity, evapotranspiration and habitat availability.

On the Estimation of Forest Vertical Structure From Multibaseline Polarimetric SAR Data [PDF]
, 2012 Forest characterization and biomass estimation by means of remote sensing systems are nowadays “hot topics” within the remote sensing community, given their importance in the terrestrial carbon budget. In fact, forest vertical structure is a key variable
