A novel approach for distinguishing noise and information in forest MLS‐point clouds

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract 3D laser scanning is a cornerstone of modern forest and ecological research, allowing detailed insight into forest structures and dynamics. Although point cloud processing and noise management are crucial steps in the exploitation of LiDAR data, traditional denoising methods are usually based on the assumption of a Gaussian noise distribution,

Analysis of plant and environmental samples for the quarantine fungus Phyllosticta citricarpa in four European citrus‐growing areas

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Methodologies for the early detection of Phyllosticta citricarpa in air and rainwater samples were developed and applied over three consecutive years (2018–2021) in four European citrus sites, previously reported to harbour the pathogen. Phyllosticta citricarpa was not detected in plant, air, or rainwater samples, and no CBS symptoms were observed on ...

Overcoming environmental constraints to high‐yielding eastern cottonwood productivity in the southeastern United States

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
The rising demand for biomass highlights Populus deltoides as a productive woody species. A 6‐year study in Sumter County, SC, assessed the effects of irrigation, fertilization, and clonal variation on growth and productivity. Eight clones were studied under two irrigation levels (33 and 1500 kPa) and nutrient rates (high: up to 182 kg N ha−1; low: 50%

Burrow Persistence and Spatial Distribution of Federally and State‐Protected Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Populations in Southwest Alabama

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), a keystone species and ecosystem engineer, has declined by ~80% over the past century due to primarily habitat loss. In a 28‐year resurvey of federally protected Mobile County and state‐protected Baldwin County, we found tortoise populations persisted at ~59% and ~31% of sites, respectively, with significant ...
