Large‐scale characterization of horizontal forest structure from remote sensing optical images

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 611-628, August 2026.
Sub‐meter resolution remote sensing data and tree crown segmentation techniques hold promise in offering detailed information that can support the characterization of forest structure from a horizontal perspective, offering new insights in the tree crown structure at scale.

A dual-pathway framework for mapping forest age in complex mining landscapes by multi-source remote sensing data and tree growth patterns

GIScience & Remote Sensing
Accurate forest age estimation is critical for sustainable forest management, carbon sequestration assessment, and biodiversity conservation. While traditional dendrochronology offers high accuracy, it lacks spatial scalability.

Singapore Water Budget: The Past, the Present, and the Future

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Urbanization and climate change profoundly impact hydrological processes and the associated water budget, challenging sustainable water management. In this study, we use a distributed mechanistic ecohydrological model adapted for urban environments to quantify changes in the hydrological budget components in response to urbanization, as well ...

Reading Matthew by the Dead Sea: Matthew 8:5-13 in Light of P. Yadin 11 [PDF]

, 2014
The archive of the Judean woman Babatha, with its 35 legal papyri in Aramaic and Greek (P. Yadin 1-35), which was hidden by her in a cave on the western side of the Dead Sea in 135 CE and rediscovered in 1961, offers unique insights into the social world

Social network dynamics under experimental manipulations of predation risk and food abundance in wild rock hyraxes

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1339-1357, August 2026.
This study combines replicated experimental manipulation, social network analysis, network permutations and meta‐analysis to disentangle active from spatially‐induced changes in animal network structure in the wild. It reveals that short‐term environmental changes primarily alter space use, with limited effects on social structure.

Habitat connectivity shapes biodiversity outcomes in Indonesia's community‐managed forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our findings suggest that community‐managed forests established within predominantly forested areas can make a meaningful contribution to area‐based conservation, including recognition as Other Effective Area‐based Conservation Measures (OECMs). In community‐managed forests established in more modified production landscapes, targeted restoration and ...

Evaluation of GEDI footprint level biomass models in Southern African Savannas using airborne LiDAR and field measurements

Science of Remote Sensing
Savannas cover more than 20% of the Earth and account for the third largest stock of global aboveground biomass yet estimates of their above ground biomass density (AGBD) are very inaccurate.

Retrieval and validation of vertical LAI profile derived from airborne and spaceborne LiDAR data at a deciduous needleleaf forest site

GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2023
Leaf area index (LAI) is defined as one half of the total green leaf area per unit ground surface area. Its vertical profile is critical for understanding the remote sensing radiative transfer processes.

The impacts of different visitor management strategies on wildlife activity in a popular desert nature reserve

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Water sources in desert ecosystems are critical for wildlife survival, but they may also attract thousands of visitors, creating potential conflicts between humans and wildlife. Effective management strategies are essential to support human‐wildlife coexistence in these fragile arid environments, allowing for sustainable tourism while ...
