Black-odorous water bodies annual dynamics in the context of climate change adaptation in Guangzhou City, China [PDF]
Black-odorous water (BOW) in urban areas has brought detrimental ecological effects and posed a threat to the health of surrounding residents. Identifying BOWs in urban areas is difficult because they are usually small in area, and discontinuous in ...

Climate Change and Topography Drive the Expansion of <i>Betula ermanii</i> in the Alpine Treeline Ecotone of the Changbai Mountain. [PDF]
Over the past 20 years, the expansion rate of Betula ermanii in the alpine ecotone of Changbai Mountain varied with mountain aspects. We found that interactions between climate and topographic factors played a more significant role in B. ermanii's expansion than any single dominant factor.

Sparse regularization method combining SVA for feature enhancement of SAR images
Abstract Sparse signal processing has been widely used in synthetic aperture radar imaging and feature enhancement of images in the recent decade. Sparse regularization ℓ1 can reduce the imaging noise level and suppress sidelobes. However, the suppression of sidelobes by sparse regularization often pays the price of losing information of weak targets ...
