Tapping the tree-ring archive for studying effects of resin extraction on the growth and climate sensitivity of Scots pine

open access: yesForest Ecosystems, 2017
Background In the German Democratic Republic (GDR), resin tapping in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) forests was a major economic activity, and resin-tapped stands are frequently found up until this day.

A Comparison of Machine-Learning Methods to Select Socioeconomic Indicators in Cultural Landscapes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cultural landscapes are regarded to be complex socioecological systems that originated as a result of the interaction between humanity and nature across time. Cultural landscapes present complex-system properties, including nonlinear dynamics among their

As good as human experts in detecting plant roots in minirhizotron images but efficient and reproducible: the convolutional neural network “RootDetector”

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Plant roots influence many ecological and biogeochemical processes, such as carbon, water and nutrient cycling. Because of difficult accessibility, knowledge on plant root growth dynamics in field conditions, however, is fragmentary at best ...

The importance of individual movement and feeding behaviour for long-distance seed dispersal by red deer: a data-driven model

open access: yesMovement Ecology, 2020
Background Long-distance seed dispersal (LDD) has strong impacts on the spatiotemporal dynamics of plants. Large animals are important LDD vectors because they regularly transport seeds of many plant species over long distances.
