Wood density variations of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) under contrasting climate conditions in southwestern Germany

Annals of Forest Research, 2013
We analyzed inter-annual variations in ring width and maximum wood density of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) at different altitudes in Baden-Württemberg, southwestern Germany, to determine the climate response of these parameters under ...

Evidence for a recent increase in forest growth [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010
Forests and their soils contain the majority of the earth’s terrestrial carbon stocks. Changes in patterns of tree growth can have a huge impact on atmospheric cycles, biogeochemical cycles, climate change, and biodiversity. Recent studies have shown increases in biomass across many forest types.

Accurate and noninvasive prostate cancer detection using plasma‐derived extracellular vesicle RNA

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plasma extracellular vesicles were captured with WGA‐conjugated magnetic beads and profiled for RNA biomarkers. A three‐RNA panel (NM_024955, NR_047469, and NR_002564) distinguished prostate cancer from healthy controls and benign prostatic hyperplasia, supporting a simple, noninvasive approach to improve prostate cancer detection.

Optimizing line-plot size for personal laser scanning: modeling distance-dependent tree detection probability along transects

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry
Personal laser scanning (PLS) systems are gaining popularity in forest inventory research and practice. They are primarily utilized on circular or compact rectangular sample plots to mitigate potential instrument drift and enhance tree detection rates ...

Forestry projections for species diversity-oriented management: an example from Central Europe

Ecological Processes, 2018
Introduction Changes in socio-economy and climate are affecting the demand of wood products globally. At the same time, society requires that forest supporting structures like biodiversity are maintained and preserved while the demand for wood products ...

Understanding and Mitigating the Risk of Accelerated Biological Aging in Survivors of Cancer: A Scoping Review

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Cancer treatment is associated with measurable acceleration of biological aging across epigenetic, telomere, senescence, and immune biomarkers. However, biomarker validation and interventional strategies remain limited, especially in hematologic malignancies, underscoring the need for standardized multi‐omic aging assessments and adequately powered ...

Prediction of tree crown width in natural mixed forests using deep learning algorithm

Forest Ecosystems, 2023
Crown width (CW) is one of the most important tree metrics, but obtaining CW data is laborious and time-consuming, particularly in natural forests. The Deep Learning (DL) algorithm has been proposed as an alternative to traditional regression, but its ...

Self‐Regulated Learning Meets AI: Reinterpreting Self‐Regulation, Co‐Regulation, and Socially Shared Regulation in Human–AI Interaction

New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advancing artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed learning and work, yet higher education and professional development programs have not systematically equipped learners for AI‐prevalent environments. This lack of preparation creates uncertainty regarding control, responsibility, trust, and accountability.

Prediction of stand-level growing stock by using a spatial regression model in an Austrian protection forest

Ecological Informatics
A digital forest inventory is proposed to estimate growing stock in a mountainous protection forest near Ebensee, Austria. As protection forests cover 42% of Austria's forest area and safeguard against natural hazards, continuous monitoring is essential ...
