Spatial distribution and drivers of aboveground forest biomass in Mexico using GEDI and national forest inventory data

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
Accurate assessment of forest aboveground biomass density (AGBD) is essential for understanding the role of vegetation in climate change mitigation and developing forest management and environmental policies at national and regional levels.

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

open access: yesScience 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

open access: yesGIScience & 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.

Anveshak - A Groundtruth Generation Tool for Foreground Regions of Document Images

open access: yes, 2017
We propose a graphical user interface based groundtruth generation tool in this paper. Here, annotation of an input document image is done based on the foreground pixels. Foreground pixels are grouped together with user interaction to form labeling units.

Carbon finance initiatives can provide biodiversity benefits

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
We evaluated the biodiversity co‐benefits of a REDD+ initiative in the tropical forests of Sierra Leone and Liberia using a quasi‐experimental study design. Complementary measures from bioacoustics and DNA metabarcoding revealed that REDD+‐financed protected areas were associated with additional biodiversity benefits compared to control areas.

Eastern North American Liana Distributions Reveal Conservation and Climate Mitigation Potential

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We created the first high‐resolution distribution maps for lianas at a continental scale to address critical knowledge gaps in invasive species management, forest carbon storage, and temperate forest ecology. Location The Nearctic realm and Eastern North America. Methods We developed a cascading modelling approach using Google Earth Engine

Long‐term vegetation changes in elephant‐related areas of concern in Kruger National Park, South Africa

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract African elephants, whether alone or in combination with other environmental factors such as floods, droughts, fire, and other herbivores, have significant impacts on large savanna trees, often contributing to declines over time. However, their effects on woody vegetation in general remain less well understood.
