Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence Regulations for Deforestation‐Free Value Chains? Exploring the Implementation of the EU Regulation on Deforestation‐Free Products in the Cocoa and Coffee Sectors of Peru

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The EU Regulation on Deforestation‐free Products (EUDR), which aims to minimize the contribution of the EU to global deforestation, is facing challenges in its implementation. One such challenge lies in applying the required due diligence provisions in producer countries such as Peru, where the impacts of the EUDR may be significant.

Advancements in ecological niche models for forest adaptation to climate change: a comprehensive review

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses significant challenges to the health and functions of forest ecosystems. Ecological niche models have emerged as crucial tools for understanding the impact of climate change on forests at the population, species, and ecosystem levels.

A SYSTEMATIC COMPARISON OF DIRECT AND IMAGE-BASED GEOREFERENCING IN CHALLENGING URBAN AREAS [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016
Image-based mobile mapping systems enable an efficient acquisition of georeferenced image sequences, which can be used for geo-data capture in subsequent steps. In order to provide accurate measurements in a given reference frame while e.g.

Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...

An effective ship detection approach combining lightweight networks with supervised simulation‐to‐reality domain adaptation

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Computer vision‐based ship detection using extensively labeled images is crucial for visual maritime surveillance. However, such data collection is labor‐intensive and time‐demanding, which hinders the practical application of newly built ship inspection systems. Additionally, well‐trained detectors are usually deployed on resource‐constrained

Methodology of Mosaicking and Georeferencing for Multi-Sheet Early Maps with Irregular Cuts Using the Example of the Topographic Chart of the Kingdom of Poland

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information
The Topographic Chart of the Kingdom of Poland (pol. Topograficzna Karta Królestwa Polskiego, commonly referred to as ‘the Quartermaster’s Map’, hereinafter: TKKP) is the first Polish modern topographic map of Poland (1:126,000, 1843).

Georeferencing and data quality: SANBI’s story [PDF]

Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2018
Georeferencing helps to fill in biodiversity information gaps, allowing biodiversity data to be represented spatially to allow for valuable assessments to be conducted. The South African National Biodiversity Institute has embarked on a number of projects that have required the georeferencing of biodiversity data to assist in assessments for redlisting

Specimen‐tailored ‘lived’ climate reveals precipitation onset and amount best predict specimen phenology, but only weakly predict estimated reproduction across a clade

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Herbarium specimens are widely distributed in space and time, thereby capturing diverse conditions. We reconstructed specimen ‘lived’ climate from knowledge of germination cues and collection dates for 14 annual species in the Streptanthus (s.l.) clade (Brassicaceae) to ask: which climate attributes best explain specimen phenological stage and ...
