An emerging coastal wetland management dilemma between mangrove expansion and shorebird conservation. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract Coastal wetlands around the world have been degraded by human activities. Global declines in the extent of important coastal wetlands, including mangroves, salt marshes, and tidal flats, necessitate mitigation and restoration efforts. However, some well‐meaning management actions, particularly mangrove afforestation, can inadvertently cause ...

Conservation planning on China's borders with Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2021 Abstract Transboundary conservation is playing an increasingly important role in maintaining ecosystem integrity and halting biodiversity loss caused by anthropogenic activities. However, lack of information on species distributions in transboundary regions and understanding of the threats in these areas impairs conservation.

Global protected-area coverage and human pressure on tidal flats. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2021 Abstract Tidal flats are a globally distributed coastal ecosystem important for supporting biodiversity and ecosystem services. Local to continental‐scale studies have documented rapid loss of tidal habitat driven by human impacts, but assessments of progress in their conservation are lacking.

Exploring local perceptions and drivers of engagement in biodiversity monitoring among participants in payments for ecosystem services schemes in southeastern Mexico. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Payments for ecosystem services (PES) are widely applied incentive‐based instruments with diverse objectives that increasingly include biodiversity conservation. Yet, there is a gap in understanding of how to best assess and monitor programs’ biodiversity outcomes.

Trends in deforestation and forest degradation after a decade of monitoring in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve in Mexico. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2014 Abstract We used aerial photographs, satellite images, and field surveys to monitor forest cover in the core zones of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve in Mexico from 2001 to 2012. We used our data to assess the effectiveness of conservation actions that involved local, state, and federal authorities and community members (e.g., local landowners ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 2123-2136, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Remote sensing (RS) increasingly seeks to produce global‐coverage maps of plant functional diversity (PFD) across scales. PFD can be quantified with metrics assessing field or RS data dissimilarity. However, their comparison suffers from the lack of normalization approaches that (1) correct for differences in the number and correlation of ...

The Photogrammetric Record, Volume 37, Issue 180, Page 385-409, December 2022., 2022 Among all stereo matching methods End‐to‐End (E2E) learning methods show that they can achieve the lowest and most frequent minimum errors, however, their performance drastically changes across different test‐sites, which indicates poor generalisation capabilities.

Using deep convolutional neural networks to forecast spatial patterns of Amazonian deforestation
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 11, Page 2622-2634, November 2022., 2022 Abstract Tropical forests are subject to diverse deforestation pressures while their conservation is essential to achieve global climate goals. Predicting the location of deforestation is challenging due to the complexity of the natural and human systems involved but accurate and timely forecasts could enable effective planning and on‐the‐ground ...
