Effects of forest fragmentation on the vertical stratification of neotropical bats [PDF]
, 2020 Vertical stratification is a key component of the biological complexity of rainforests. Understanding community- and species-level responses to disturbance across forest strata is paramount for evidence-based conservation and management.

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 The stable isotope 15N is an extremely useful tool for studying the nitrogen (N) cycle of terrestrial ecosystems. The affordability of isotope-ratio mass spectrometry has increased in the last decades and routine measurements of δ15N with an accuracy ...

Forest Insect Population Dynamics
, 2023 AbstractMost insect species are rare most of the time, but populations of certain taxa exhibit dramatic fluctuations in abundance across years. These fluctuations range from highly regular, cyclical dynamics to mathematical chaos. Peaks in abundance, or “population outbreaks” are notable both for the damage they can cause in natural and planted forests

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 The vitality of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is declining since the 1990s in many European regions. This was mostly attributed to the occurrence of hotter droughts, other climatic changes and secondary biotic stressors.

Distinguishing Abrupt and Gradual Forest Disturbances With MODIS-Based Phenological Anomaly Series
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Capturing forest disturbances over time is increasingly important to determine the ecosystem's capacity to recover as well as aiding a timely response of foresters.

Increasing turnover through time in tropical forests [PDF]
, 1994 Tree turnover rates were assessed at 40 tropical forest sites. Averaged across inventoried forests, turnover, as measured by tree mortality and recruitment, has increased since the 1950's, with an apparent pantropical acceleration since 1980.

Forest cover estimation in Ireland using radar remote sensing: a comparative analysis of forest cover assessment methodologies [PDF]
, 2015 Quantification of spatial and temporal changes in forest cover is an essential component of forest monitoring programs. Due to its cloud free capability, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an ideal source of information on forest dynamics in countries ...

Pattern Recognition Letters, 2012 In this paper, we introduce a new Random Forest (RF) induction algorithm called Dynamic Random Forest (DRF) which is based on an adaptative tree induction procedure. The main idea is to guide the tree induction so that each tree will complement as much as possible the existing trees in the ensemble.
